Two cards featuring Leaves



Time to share my two cards featuring Leaves...
I chose to use a die cut leaf sprig









  • With this longer die cut I decided to make a slim card
  • Die cut two leaf sprigs and used Distress Inks to loosely watercolour them
  • On matching green card I used the negative of the die cut to add a gold embossed sprig to the background
  • Die cut a decorative label and stamped and gold embossed the sentiment, then blended shabby shutters DI around the edge
  • Layered the panel on dark green to add a frame, assembled the elements and added a few gold gel pen dots

  • Again as the die cut is long I decided to use them as a pretty frame for the sentiment and made a square card.
  • Die cut four leaf sprigs and used Distress Oxide smooching to add the colours
  • On a square white panel I stamped the sentiment in Versafine Clair - Tulip red and heat embossed with Gold Pearl EP
  • Folded picked raspberry card to create the square card and attached all the elements...finishing off with a few White Nuvo Crystal Drop spots

  1. These designs are both spectacular, Robyn, and so distinctly different! I love that slimline design with the loosely watercolored leaves and I'm going to try and remember the way you added the gold sprig behind which takes your design to a new level! I also love the warm sunset colors you smooched to make your beautiful square design! Thank you for playing in TCC #37! Hugs, Darnell

  3. The green card looks like it is made from linen. The colors red and yellow have always been one of my favorite color combinations. Well done Robyn!
