Leaf it out

I'm back again with another couple of cards to share....both are floral cards which I'll be entering into  The flower challenge .

Here's card 1:

Love this sentiment & it's my first time using it.  This card came about by going through lots of my die cut flowers I had stashed away.  I decided to use coloured card, and stamped my sentiment first and then using Distress Oxides,  ink brushes, & a stencil, I inked through the stencil, keeping the middle of the card darker and getting lighter at the edge.  To finish my card, I used a gelly roll gold pen and framed the sentiment, and added a few dots here and there.  I loved how this turned out, considering I had no previous thought of what design it would be.  I just 'went with the flow' as they say!


Card 2:


Now, it wouldn't be a shocker to those that know, but I'm a huge fan of WPlus9's stamps and dies - and I'm a little late to the game of purchasing this Tossed floral stamp  but I liked it as soon as it came out.  I've admired so may cards with this stamp set.  It's small but beautiful.  After stamping I decided to colour with my ZIG clean colour real brush pens & Zig blender pen.  SO easy to use, especially when stamping on Bristol card stock. I finished off my card by adding a ' hello' word die sentiment from Wplus9's Basic greetings die.


That's it for now.  Hope you have a good week :-)
