Tropical Stromanthe Stencil

I’ll be sharing cards throughout the month made with some of the STAMPtember products, and so will many other talented designers. It is going to be a fun month filled with ideas and inspiration!

This card features the new Stromanthe Stencil Set.

The layers make it easy to create the leaf with different shades - or colors, as I did here.

Techniques:

• For a fun tropical feel I used colors beyond the obvious greens. For each of the three stencil layers I used, I blended two ink colors together. That added a lot of variation and interest in the leaves.

  • layer 1: pink & orange

  • layer 2: green & blue

  • layer 3: blue & pink

• I kept the greeting in a bold black and white, to contrast with the organic shapes and rainbow of color in the leaves.

• Gold splatter on the leaves added a great detail and energy with the sparkle and movement it brings to the card.

Colors:

• cardstock: Concord & 9th: Midnight. Hammermill white

• ink: Concord & 9th: Dragonfruit, Clementine, Avocado, and Midnight. Versafine Onyx Black

Thank you for visiting! I hope you get some time to create something soon.
