A pretty thank you card made using ink blending and the Greenery Lane stamp set from Stampin' Up!

Leafy Silhouette Card – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are sharing a project using Blending Brushes. I have chosen to share a simple stamps, ink and paper card made using the Greenery Lane stamp set and some ink blending.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

I created the Leafy Silhouette card using the following supplies:

Coastal Cabana card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Secret Sea – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White – 5” by 3¼”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White

 

In the centre of a large scrap panel of Basic White card I die cut a circle using the largest of the circle dies from the Stylish Shapes dies. This was placed over the smaller piece of Basic White card to act as a mask, held in place with washi tape.

I used a Blending Brush to apply Coastal Cabana ink to the negative space, slowly building up the colour. The mask was then removed.

The large leafy spray, from the Greenery Lane stamp set was stamped overlapping the inked circle using Secret Sea ink.

The sentiment was stamped with the same ink in the lower right corner of the decorated panel before the panel was adhered to the Secret Sea layer. The whole piece was added to the Coastal Cabana card front on Dimensionals.

Paper Pieced Leafy Spray – Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Stamping with Friends Blog Hop – 1

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on. When I saw the Petals of Beauty Dies, especially the large leafy die, my immediate thought was ‘paper piecing’ and that is what I have used to make my card.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

To recreate the paper pieced leafy spray card, you will need:

Pool Party card base – 8 ¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Secret Sea card – 4⅞” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 4”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside
Scrap Fresh Freesia, Berry Burst, Pool Party & Secret Sea

 

Using the Textured Notes Dies, I die cut a decorated rectangle from the 5¼” by 4” panel of basic White card.

I die cut the leafy spray from scrap pieces of Fresh Freesia, Berry Burst, Pool Party & Secret Sea using the large die from the Petals of Beauty dies. A Take Your Pick Tool was used to free all the pieces from the die, one colour at a time, taking care to keep the leaves in the correct position.

The Secret Sea outline leafy die cut was then adhered to the die cut Basic White rectangle. At this point I realised it would have been a lot easier if I had adhered double sided adhesive sheet to the back of each scrap piece…….. don’t you love hindsight!

The infill leaf pieces were then inlaid into the Secret Sea outline; I used all the colours.

The sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set was stamped in the lower left corner using Secret Sea ink. The whole decorated panel was then glued to the Secret Sea layer. I then added the panel to the Pool Party card front on Dimensionals.

A trio of Iridescent Faceted Gems finished the card. With the left-over pieces, I made three other cards. Let me know which is your favourite.

The sentiment from the Many Messages stamp set was in my stash. It had previously been stamped in Versamark ink, covered with White Embossing Powder and heat set with my Heat Tool. It was die cut using the Messages Dies.
