Funky foliage
Good morning all,
I hope you are all feeling good!
Today's card is done with the lovely new Funky Foliage Collage and repositional Funky Foliage stamp sets. This is one of my favourite designs of the recent new stamps from Clarity and I love some of the work that has been done by other Claritystampers.
This is the card I did for the TV. The background was one I found in my stash ,I used distress inks squished on a glass mat, spritzed with water and picked up on the card.
I did all the stamping with black archival, then coloured in with pencils
To add a bit of extra interest to the background, I diluted one of the green brusho paints on a mat and picked up the paint on one of the leaf stamps and stamped on to the card
Once all that was dry, I squiggled a couple of black lines round the edge and stamped the 'Good Luck' from the brilliant line sentiment range. I added a squiggle to the ends of that too.
Mat and layer with matching card
Hope you like it.
Thanks very much for stopping by - hope you have a wonderful day
