An Aussie themed card from an Aussie girl... my card today bears - gum (Eucalyptus) leaves and blossoms, in two dimensions....Inspired by the stem of pink flowers in the photo below. Firstly I stamped my background foliage in lightly with Distress Ink and used pencil to colour in just a few pieces. Then I die cut some gum foliage in two shades of green card and also the small sections of the flowers in crimson and green again to make my flowers 'pop'. I smooched the edges of my image panel and stamped on my sentiment, then adhered the layers on a green card, finally I added my die cuts. I am posting to

This is lovely Robyn. I love the way you've used the same flowers and foliage for background and diecuts. Barbxx

ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! Bear gum leaves - never heard of them... I thought it was an Eukalyptus. That subtle stamping in the background adds so much depth!
