Oh happy day everyone!
This is probably my favorite card at the moment. I made it a while ago but never shared it. I think I wanted to hoard it for myself. LOL!
Isn't it stunning? I think the Winter Leaves make the whole card. I started by using Distress Ink on my card base. I wanted to look like a sunset so the silhouette really stood out against it.
I inked my Winter Leaves Stencil with black ink. From there I tool it to my Scan N Cut to cut out all of my leaves. Didn't they turn out great? I cut out my dotted circle from Gina Marie Designs. I glued my Winter Leaves to the front of my white die cut panel. I stamped and cut out my "Thinking Of You" sentiment and added to the front of my panel just barely over the stem of my Winter Leaves.
For something a little different because I didn't want to use foam tape, I wanted more depth to the card. So what I did was trim 1/8" - 1/4" off of my panel and glued it so the top lined up with the top card base and the bottom lined up with the card base bottom causing the arch in the middle of my card. I love it by the way; turned out perfect!
I finished off the inside with another sentiment from The Ton. These Easy Expressions sentiment die cuts are the bomb!! I added some enamel dots to the front as well.
Once again here is the full card front ...
Until next time ... hugs & inky fingers!
