Leafy Ribbon with Rachel Vass Designs

 


Hello everyone!  I'm sharing this beautiful Sympathy card
created with a digital stamp set from:



This is one of my all time favorite sets from Rachel Vass Designs.
I love the simplicity of it and the versatility.
I began by composing my image in the computer.  I copied and pasted
this about 6 times, flipping and angling as I went to create more
of a wreath shape.  I printed it out onto 140lb watercolor paper.


I was greatly inspired by the wash tape I was using for the
background.  I wanted my colors to be soft.  I chose to work with
Gansai Tambi watercolors - 12 Color Set II.  Many of the colors
are soft and muted.


I picked out greens, blues and purples.  Sometimes I mixed colors
together, other times it was straight from the palette.


It truly would have been too much to shade all the leaves, so I
pretty much painted them solid, adding more water to some, less
to others to retain that watercolor look.


I fussy cut the image when it was dry.  I laid down 3 strips of washi tape
horizontally on my grey 4 1/2" x 6 1/4" card base.  I popped up my painted
panel on foam tape and added a scattering of tiny pale green pearls.
And that finished my card!


I hope you've enjoyed today's tutorial.  This card could be used for
so many occasions by simply changing out the sentiment.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  I hope I've inspired
