I started by masking the card front to create a border. Placed a leaf stencil over top that I die-cut from acetate using the Leaf Pattern (51-432) die from Penny Black. Uses my blending brushes to blend over top of the stencil with a light touch using Shabby Shutters distress ink. I blended at the bottom and left side, fading out towards the center.
Removed stencil and used my heat gun to made sure the ink was dry before stamping the image in black and heat embossing in clear. Watercoloured using Distress Inks, Kitsch Flamingo and Peeled Paint. Stamped the sentiment in black and clear heat embossed to match the image.
