Woodware "Leaf Quartet" Congratulations Card

GCSE exam results are just around the corner and I know a certain young man will have done fantastically well, so I hope I've not jinxed the results by making this congratulations card. 

I've used one of the leaves from the Woodware "Leaf Quartet JGS342" clear stamp set, stamped in Versafine Clair "Green Oasis" ink.  I stamped the leaf again on to a post-it note and then fussy cut it to create a mask and popped it over the original stamped image.

I used low tack tape to mask off the edges of the card, then used Versafine Clair "Warm Breeze" ink through the Funky Fossil Designs "Burlap Texture Background Stencil.

Removing the leaf mask and the low tack tape, I then created a mount in a co-ordinating colour of card, before sticking it on to a card blank.

I used a sentiment from the Funky Fossil Designs "Stripped Back Sentiments" stamp set, with Versafine Clair "Green Oasis" ink for the "congratulations" word.

Finally, I added some dots of white Ranger "Enamel Accents" drifting from top left to bottom right of the card.

Day 8 of "24 Days of Tags 2022" with Karen Telfer.

This is my Day 8 tag, part of the "24 Days of Tags 2022" challenge with Karen Telfer. Today was all about smoothing and splattering.  Here is her video tutorial if you want to have a go yourself.

I followed Karen's instructions for the base colours, but didn't have the same flowers and leaves that she used, so rummaged around and came across three Woodware sets of stamps that would work well.  They were "Leaf Quartet", "Poinsettia" and "Seasons Greetings".

I used Wow! Rich Gold Embossing powder on the vellum and heat set it on a low setting.  It took a while but I got there in the end.  I added touches of metallic gold pen to the poinsettia leaves and also edged the tag in gold too.

Day 28 of #thedailymarker30day colouring challenge, using "Woodware Leaf Quartet - JGS342" stamp set

It's Day 28 of #thedailymarker30day colouring challenge.

Today I have used a Woodware stamp called "Leaf Quartet - JGS342".

I've stamped the leaf in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink and then heat embossed the image.  I then coloured with Posca Pens and Distress Oxide Inks.
