Leaf Burst

Hi crafty friends! 

I hope you all had a great weekend, my weekend was spent making a list of everything I had so far for the wedding and what else I still needed. I also had my first dress fitting on Saturday, everything went well and it is all coming together, we are only 95 days away. 

For today's blog post I created three cards using the same Leaf Burst stencil by Altenew. 

As you can see I used a variety of different colors for each card, I had no rhyme or reason for the colors I choose. Under each card I have listed the distress colors that I used as well as the sentiment I used. 

Distress Inks: Tattered Rose, Worn Lipstick, Candied Apple

Sentiment: Oh Hello There Wafer Die - SSS

Distress Inks: Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, Bundled Sage

Sentiment: Hooray Die - Neat and Tangled

Distress Inks: Scattered Straw, Tattered Rose, Shaded Lilac, Mermaid Lagoon

Sentiment: Big Thanks Wafer Die - SSS

After I used my distress inks with the stencil for each card I then picked the three different sentiment dies that I wanted to use. I picked a different sentiment for each occasion. I knew each sentiment I wanted in different colors to compliment the leaf burst colors. For the first card I went with black to really make it pop, the second card had a lot of green so I knew a brown card stock would go great with that one; and finally the third card had multiple colors so I picked pink to highlight. 

For each card I decided to also cut the card stock I used for the sentiment in an A2 size to have behind the leaf burst. I really like how it added some dimension to each card. After adhering everything I adhered some sequins to each card to add the final touches. 

I hope you all enjoyed my cards today and can find some inspiration to create something yourself, Happy Crafting!
