Gentle Leaf Collage
by Sue McRae

Stencil

Hello crafters, welcome to another day of our blog blitz!

I started off my card by using the Gentle Leaf Collage, die cutting it from card stock and using this piece as a stencil. I used glitter embossing paste in green with a hint of blue for the leaves and love the pretty sparkle. This is such a great way to get more mileage from your dies!

I wanted a defined edge for my panel so I tapped a Versamark ink pad around the edge of the card stock, sprinkled it with gold embossing powder and heat set.

To continue with the gold theme I flicked gold paint onto the panel.

I die cut the Little Luxe Hello from black card stock and stamped the word friend from the Sentiments of Hello stamp set.

To finish off, I mounted my panel onto black card stock and added a few black pearls.

Remember to leave a comment on each blog post during the blog blitz for your chance to win the featured product.

Today I’m giving away the Gentle Leaf Collage.

Thanks so much for visiting with me!
