It’s Thursday and you know that means it is time for a Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge. This turned out to be a very fun sketch to use this week!
TROPICAL LEAF
Here’s another new Online Exclusive Bundle from Stampin’ Up! called Tropical Leaf! It has a stamp set and coordinating punch! I’ve always loved monstera leaves and saw PLENTY of them in Maui a couple years ago on Stampin’ Up!’s Incentive Trip when we took the Road to Hana!
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Parakeet Party cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 3 x 4-1/4 piece of Basic White cardstock was stamped off using Shaded Spruce Ink with the smaller monstera leaf randomly all over. The leaf veins were stamped with full strength Shaded Spruce Ink on top.
- The speckle stamp from Irresistible Blooms was stamped randomly with Parakeet Party Ink all over the background.
- The Basic White panel was added to two 2 x 2-3/4 panels of Flowers & More Designer Paper (Host), then adhered to the front.
- A 1/2 x 4 strip of Shaded Spruce cardstock was added across the front.
- The greeting was stamped with Shaded Spruce Ink and cut with the Painted Labels Dies. It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The larger monstera leaf was stamped with Shaded Spruce Ink on Parakeet Party cardstock and the veins with Memento Black Ink. It was punched with the Tropical Leaf Punch and added under the greeting with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- A trio of black Classic Matte Dots were added in the background.
