This weeks Monochromatic color challenge

Beautiful Motifs bundle + Round We Go sentiment

This was my first time using the leaf cut out in a background application. I used a blending brush and ink on Basic White to create a lighter tone than actual cardstock. Then I used the die to create the lifted areas. I like how I was able to insert flower stems so that it looks like it is flowing around the leaves. I used adhesive sheet on the back of the gold foil cardstock so that I could apply it directly over the flower base layer. All of the products used are listed at the end of this post.

Cutting Instructions:

Card base - Basic White: 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored at 4-1/4". This is a side fold card.
