For today’s blog hop I created a simple card using the newly released Just Leaves Die Set and a masking paper.

Using a masking technique I crated a background of my card. I cut a leaf from Just Leaves Die Set out of masking paper to create a mask. Then I used Altenew inks and small Ink Blending Tools to apply colours to the background.

congrats

I added some black ink splatters for more interest and another die cut coloured with markers from Artist Markers Set E. To finish the card I stamped my sentiment and tiny stars from Sentiments & Quotes Stamp Set.
