Hey there! I’m up on the Altenew blog today with a couple of cards that are very quick and easy to create and, if you’re like me, will soothe your conscience about how many various flower and leaf stamp sets you own! When you can combine a variety of botanicals in a coordinated way like this, it looks very crisp and modern!
The cards are quite similar to each other but for a couple of subtle color differences and the design layout. With the addition of some red, I even made one into a semi-non-traditional holiday card!
You can read more about the process on the Altenew Card Blog, but I used the following stamps and inks to create these two cards.
- Leafy stem from the Dot Art stamp set with Moss ink.
- Leaf branch from the Leaf Clusters stamp set, stamped with the 2nd generation technique using Dusk ink.
- Small leaf cluster from the Weekend Doodles stamp set with gold embossing powder.
- Second leaf steam (smaller) from the Leaf Clusters stamp set, stamped with Frayed Leaf ink.
- Open-leaf image stamp from the Flower Garden stamp set, stamped in Vineyard Berry for the “holiday greetings” card, and Moon Rock for the “thank you” card.
The gold embossed images are tricky to capture in photos, but look really beautiful in real life.
Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
