I always try to get at least one card made for each challenge at CAS Mix Up as they really make me think outside the box, for both ideas and techniques.
For my card I used a sphere die from Altenew to make a stencil (I do have the actual stencil from Altenew as well, but preferred the smaller size of the die for this particular project). I brushed on some Shabby Shutters Distress ink then used the stencil to add more of the same colour but this time applying with a sponge dauber. The SSS leaves were cut from some scrap DP and then inked a little with more green and a touch of gold.
The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted.I based the design on the sketch from Colours and Sketches
Today we are going to meet our son and his wife and daughter for lunch. This will be the first time that we have eaten out for over 6 months. It feels a little odd. we are fortunate that our area is not as restricted as many in the UK, but we must still be vigilant.
What strange times!
Stay safe everyone!
It's always nice to know that over at CAS Mix Up we come up with ideas that help you stretch your stash Chrissie and you've made a fab job of this tone on tone technique. A really great card and am so glad that you joined in my challenge this month! Thanks for sharing. x

ReplyDeleteThose leaves are gorgeous Chrissie, and love the touch of gold over the top of them, and the stencilled sphere shape makes a wonderful background and the green is so pretty. x
