Give a Cheer
I'm sharing a card I wanted to have ready for July 1st, but was too busy to complete it in time for Canada Day. So I decided to turn it into a Thank You card and love how it turned out. I started off by water colouring two red stripes down the sides of my landscape card panel. This was meant to be the beginning of my Canadian Flag design. I then added the maple leaves randomly along the middle with a range of inks. The large solid red maples were stamped in Lumberjack Plaid Oxide Ink, the smaller solid maple leaves were stamped in Fired Brick Oxide Ink. I used a lovely Hero Arts Ombré Ink pad for the more skeleton leaf style stamps. I love this beautiful Leaf Layers Stamp Set from Whimsy, the mix of solid and skeleton leaves is just SO pretty. Oxide inks for the win, with both the watercolouring and the stamping. I finished the design with a sentiment from one of my favourite sentiment sets from Whimsy - Beaucoup Bouquet Sentiments. This set has such lovely sentiments, I've had it a long while and do reach for it often for uplifting and encouraging sentiments. I coloured some natural coloured fine twine from May Arts black, with a permanent black marker, so I could balance the black of the sentiment and added a little heart charm which says 'made with love'. Not where I thought the design would go initially, but I so love how it turned out. Link in bio to my full blogpost.
Thanks for spreading positivity!
