So this is my Card..... I started with a Just Jade card base and added a Basic White layer. I then took another Basic white layer and using the Artistically Inked Stamp set and my Just Jade ink pad I stamped my layer as follows. I started by stamping off twice to get the lightest shade, stamping randomly over the layer and then I inked up again and stamped off once for the next shade. I then finished off by stamping at full strength. I love the way this turned out. I have Frances McFaul to thank for showing me this technique and I really love it. I then added some leave from the Gorgeous Leaves Bundle from the Mini Catalogue. They are in Shaded Spruce, Just Jade and Gold Foil. I finished off the front with a Happy Birthday and small bow.
As I started off with a larger piece of card for my stamping on the front I cut this and added it to the inside of my card. I also stamped some leaves and sentiment all in Just Jade. For a Monochromatic card I think these tones work so will together and I'm very happy with how it turned out. I think I might try the same technique with an array of colours and see what it looks like.

This is such a great effect, Di - love your monochromatic colour scheme!
ReplyDeleteThat stamp from Artistically Inked is awesome for creating backgrounds, isn't it? I love the look of your stamped background, Di; it's a lovely feature of your card. The colours of the leaves are lovely, too.
ReplyDeleteDi that multi stamped background looks fabulous and works well with the leaves.
ReplyDeleteThat's a really cool background effect, Di and I love the little pop of gold foil in the leaves!
ReplyDeleteDi your background is just beautiful and effective and the Shaded Spruce goes beautifully with the Just Jade. A lovely card.
