Monstera Leaf Cards Card #1
Start with a white card front cut at 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″. Secure to your work surface and using the layered Monstera Leaf Stencils, add the new Cabbage, Dew and Mist Pawsitively Saturated ink cubes.
Next, leave the third stencil in place and cover the light green ink with Ranger’s Stickles Moon Dust Glitter Gel. Set aside to dry for at least 30 minutes. Then attach to a top folding white A2 sized card base, 4-1/4″ x 11″, score and fold at 5-1/2″.
Next, splatter the front with gold paint.
Finally, embellish with the Just a Note sentiment die, cutting the shadow background from Vellum and the words from Matte Gold card stock.
Monstera Leaf Cards – Card #2
This card has the same size card pieces as Card #1.
Place the card front onto a protected work surface and use the VersaMark Ink Pad to push ink through the first stencil. Remove the stencil, cover with gold embossing powder, shake off the excess and heat set.
Repeat with stencil #2, this time using the Sea of Tranquility Embossing Powder from WOW.
Then, repeat with stencil #3, using the Oasis embossing powder.
Attach card front to the card base and splatter with gold paint.
Finally, die cut the Splendid sentiment from matte gold cardstock and vellum for the shadow background and attach with small pieces of foam squares.
That’s it for my card share, hope you like them.
