Tropical Leaf Card

Spring Break is over and I am getting back to my usual stamping routine. Watch tomorrow on my FB page for details about the product I am featuring in my weekly Card Class To Go. For today I got a chance to put together a quick cards today using the Tropical Leaf stamp set and punch from the new Online Exclusive products!!

The card I created was inspired by the Freshly Made Sketches challenge (#FMS578)

The background was created by stamping the stems across the card front and embossing them with Clear powder. Then I used Soft Suede to lightly blend ink over top. and attach it to a piece of Soft Suede CS. The copper panel is a piece of Naturally Gilded 12 X 12 specialty DSP (also a new Online Exclusive product) which I also attached to a piece of Soft Suede CS. The leaves were punched from a piece of Copper Foil and a piece of Vellum Layering Designs. I tied them together with some Linen Thread.

I hope you get some inspiration from this subtle card. Happy Stampin’! and shopping. All of these products are available onlmine to purchase. The online exclusives are while supplies last only – so don’t delay.

When you use my host code this month (or my Stamp Camp code) I will also send you the link to this fabulous 47 card Tutorial Bundle as a thank you!

I have actually created over 25 cards using these materials in the past 2 days ( and yes – I did leave my craft room for family time, gardening, and time out with the girls 🙂 These cards just go together so easily.

I used one of the new Basics 3D embossing folders from the Online Exclusives to create the subtle background and added a few Brushed Brass Butterflies – otherwise these images and papers came form the Enjoy the Adventure Card Pack! You can see the very quick video of how it came together below. Then keep scrolling down to see my first video created the day I opened the card pack and info about my online Enjoy the Adventure Card Class.
