I have made a couple cards with the beautiful Simon Says Stamp Monstera stencil set, from their Cheering for You release...
I have two amazing, plant loving daughters, and when I saw this stencil set, I knew I had to try my hand at this beautiful leaf! I used a bunch of different greens to make this leaf(listed below), then added a die cut and layered, stamped and embossed sentiment. I also added a few glossy accent dots. Here's a close up...
After showing it to my daughter, she challenged me to make a Monstera Albo...where half the leaf is white. The one that I made on this card, looked lighter and a bit different, as I used embossing paste to make the white side white...
The embossing paste DID make the greens look lighter(plus all that I accidentally wiped off while handling it while it was drying!), so I accordingly, used a lighter to darker shade of already blended cardstock, for the background. I cut out the leaf, which I had originally put the paste onto gray cardstock, but got ink on, so I cut the leaf out and off the gray paper. I am hoping that Simon comes out with a die for this beauty...I absolutely love this leaf! Here's a close up of the second card,...
These may be two cards, but I'm pretty sure these will not be the last two that I make with these stencils...such great fun!!
Thank you for stopping by, today!!
Hugs!! Lisa
So many interesting and beautiful cards. You had me at those first two, with the sunflowers. I like how you used the backgound stamp to accent the sunflowers. The yellow one is CAS, but that rainbow one was so fun. Your other cards are unique as well. Thanks for the inspiration.
