Happy Wednesday, everyone! Last week I shared a card project featuring my new Eclectica stamps and stencils from PaperArtsy. Today I’ve got another project for you!
This is the Eclectica ESN20 set. (What, have I designed 20 stamp sets for PaperArtsy?!! Why, it seems I have!)
So the stamp set: Well, I love garden and botanical stamps. They’re so versatile, you can use a botanical image on just about any card. And there are lots of flower stamps available but not as many leaf designs. The great thing about leaves is that they can be stamped in bright greens for spring or soft oranges for autumn designs. These leaves also have a bit of mottling to them so you get really nice texture.
(The leaf at the top was discovered on a wet and windy walk in the German mountains; I found the leaf at the bottom when I was out running errands. I got some strange looks for photographing leaves on the ground but hey…it’s for art, right?)
The stencil I’m using is PS027. The leaves do correspond with the leaf stamps plus you get two more really nice and unusual leaf shapes.
Ready for the card? Here I wanted to create a layered effect with a painted background. I love having the option of a stamped background and a coordinating focal image.
So let’s see how to build it up—
How about a video? Here’s the lovely Leandra from PaperArtsy showcasing the new Eclectica stamps—she shows the card you see here, plus several other designs!
Thanks for coming by!
