Elegant Leaves in Cajun Craze

Elegant Leaves Bundle

A few weeks back, Cajun Craze was the monochromatic challenge.... and it happened just a couple of days after I was home from my knee replacement....so my card had to be as absolutely simple as possible. Of course I look at it now and can see a few things that I wish I had done differently, but that is the beauty of a hand crafted card.... I can always make another one :)

Elegant Leaves Bundle

To create this card I used one stamp to create a tonal card front design. I used Cajun Craze ink on the light side of the Cajun Craze Two Tone cardstock. Basic Beige is a perfect neutral color to allow the rich beauty of Cajun Craze to shine through. I am in love with the leaves in the corners of the inner message liner.

Frosted Pinecones in Night of Navy

Frosted Pinecones Bundle

Well, I am a couple weeks behind... so I am slowly playing catch up. I thought I had everything under control before my Total Knee Replacement on October14th..... but I never anticipated that my office chair wouldn't work for me after surgery.

This card was created for a weekly monochromatic Insta Hop, where the featured color was Night of Navy. Click here to see the original Instagram post.

Frosted Pinecones Bundle

I created the front of the card using versamark ink and gold heat embossing powder. The inner card also uses gold heat embossing for the sentiment. Night of Navy ink looks lovely at the fir branches in the corners.

Flourish & Frames in Timid Tiger

Flourish & Frames Bundle + Swiss Dot Hot Foil Plate + Sweetly Sentimental Hot Foil Dies

Timid Tiger is this weeks Monochromatic Insta Hop featured color. This is usually the point that I state how easy the card was to make..... but this card was more labor intensive. Hot foil on the card front, on the focal point and the sentiment. Hot foiling, while beautiful, does add an extra couple of steps while creating a card.

I wanted green leaves, so not only did I fussy cut the flowers, but the leaves too. Well ok, so I fussy cut the bee as well.

Flourish & Frames Bundle + Swiss Dot Hot Foil Plate + Sweetly Sentimental Hot Foil Dies

Copper hot foil was used with the Swiss Dot Hot foil Plate for the card front. Then Copper hot foil was used again for the focal point and the sentiment. I saved a couple of stripes from the Swiss Dot hot foiling to use on the inner card as well.

The flowers have been stamped in Timid Tiger and lightly colored using a blending brush. The leaves are Soft Sea Foam. I then used Wink of Stella for a touch of shine.

The bee was stamped in Basic Black, then the stripes were colored with Timid Tiger Stampin' Blends. The leaves on the wings were colored with Soft Sea Foam. Wink of Stella was also used on the bee for a bit of shine.

Cutting Instructions:

Card base - Basic White Thick: 4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2"
Front matte layer - Timid Tiger: 3 7/8" x 5 1/8"
Card front layer - Basic White: 3 5/8" x 4 7/8"
Focal point base - Basic White: 3 1/2" x 4 1/2", Use largest die to cut
Flowers - Basic White: scrap to stamp two bundles of flowers
Leaves - Basic White: scrap to stamp leaves
Sentiment - Basic White: 3 1/4" x 4 1/4" (to stamp the whole sentiment plate)
Bee - Basic White: scrap to stamp one bee
Inner matte layer - Timid Tiger: 3 7/8" x 5 1/8"
Inner message liner - Basic White: 3 3/4" x 5"
