Crafty As L

These cards were another batch made for the Lavinia Birthday Club.  I had a few new purchases so wanted to have a play with them.  To begin, I masked off a section with sticky notes and added some pink ink using blending brushes. Next, I used the Leaf mask to add some pattern over and around the panel.   I stamped the bunny (well, I think it’s technically a hare...) in the corner and used a black fine liner to add some grass to ground the bunny.      Each panel was mounted onto black and coloured mat layers and the cards finished with a few Nuvo Drops. Quick, simple, pretty cards that would also work as Easter cards.      

  There are lots of rainbows around at the moment, not the meteorological kind but ones created to celebrate the work of the NHS during the pandemic.  This made me think of doing a rainbow-themed card for my blog this week.  I used the leaf cluster from Rooted in Nature as my feature image whilst the large sentiment from the same set was the focal point. To begin, I stamped the sentiment just left of centre. Next, I stamped the leaf image seven times, changing between the rainbow colours each time. Since I had decided to use a Pacific Point card base, I decorated the liner and envelope with the leaves stamped in the same colour. To complete the card, the front panel was mounted on a black layer before being adhered to the card base.
