Spring Greens

Good Morning everyone, i hope you are having a good week.  Thank you for your amazing comments on my last card the slider - honestly the die does the work so its easy.

Today im sharing the second card i made for my parents neighbour Harry, he is an avid gardener so i went with a green leaf theme and kept it CAS. 

I actually used my large oval dies to make this shaped card,  I folded a piece of white A4 in half and then over hanged the top and bottom of the oval die over the edge so it kept the spine in tact.  I then cut the other layers with smaller ovals.  I coloured a piece of white card with various green aquatints and added a touch of gold mica spray. 

I die cut a oval from white linen card and cut off the top and bottom, i then die cut my leaf die 3 times from the middle.  I then die cut the leaves again from gold mirror card, i added the white to the green and then inset the gold leaves, i then mounted it all on the base card. 

I die cut a white tag and stamped the greeting.  Although with the 3 leaves i had planned to have them top and tailed but after looking at it after id made it i thought if id cut all 3 leaves the right way up then could almost look like trees. 

A close up on the leaves, i love the gold against the green. 

Items Used:

Concord & Ninth layered leaf dies

XL stitched oval dies

spellbinders 'Valiant honor' die set 

clearly besotted sentiment stamp

CraftUk ltd white linen card
