Sincere Leaves

Welcome to the latest challenge at Freshly Made Sketches, where this week our sketch hostess is Jacquie Southas.


I changed the dimensions of the sketch elements slightly to fit my card but I hope you can still see the sketch.


The background was embossed with Liquid Platinum embossing powder onto a black card base and then set aside.  I die-cut a white pierced frame and stamped the sentiment in a vertical fashion for something a bit different.  The leaves were die-cut from some previously alcohol-inked Yupo.  I die-cut a further 3 from white cardstock and stacked them for added stability.


Here's a close-up of the leaves.



Thanks for visiting.  The DT have some gorgeous cards so I hope you'll check them out.

Products used:

Stamps:  Brush Splatter BG; Bitty Thanks & Gratitude (MFT)
Ink:  Versamark, Versafine Onyx Black, Alcohol Inks
Cardstock:  Black, White, Yupo

    Those leaves are really pretty! I have no idea what Yupo is, but I love what you have done with it. I also love the splattered background and the vertical sentiment. A striking card, Karren!

    So simple and so striking, Karren. You've created the most amazing silver embossed background and I love the pop of green of the pretty little leaves.
