The SU! catalogue has a lovely hello card on the front using products from the 'Expressions in Ink' suite of products. I wanted to make a version of the card using a different patterned paper and I chose the gorgeous Just Jade and Shaded Spruce coloured paper for my card. Here's my card and envelope together.
Here's the card. I die cut the leaf shape from Thick Basic White CS and applied Just Jade and Shaded Spruce inks with a blending brush. To make the leaves stand out better against the patterned paper I tore some vellum and adhered that over the patterned paper. I stamped the rose in Polished Pink ink and stamped the leaves and sentiment in Shaded Spruce ink. I cut out the hello with a die from the 'Tasteful Labels' set and cut a strip of Polished Pink CS to go behind the banner. I haven't got the Expressions in Ink Ephemera pack but I do have the 'Forever Gold' Laser-cut Specialty Paper and I took a small leafy sprig from there to tuck behind the sentiment. The sentiment and rose are popped up on Dimensionals. To add another touch of gold I sprinkled on three Gilded Gems.
For the inside of the card I die cut another leaf shape, applied Just Jade and Shaded Spruce inks with a blending brush and adhered the shape in place.
To decorate the envelope flap I die cut a leaf shape from Thick Basic White CS to use as a stencil. I dabbed the shape with Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue using a sponge and I let that dry. If you let the Tombow glue dry it becomes repositionable. I placed the shape on the envelope flap, applied Just Jade ink with a blending brush and then removed the die cut shape. Such a soft, pretty effect!
