Leafy Ribbon with Rachel Vass Designs

 

Hello everyone!  Today I'm sharing another beautiful design from the

January 2021 Release from:

Leafy Ribbon

I love this digistamp set.  It can be used in soooo many different ways!  Let

me show you how I made my card today!

I started by composing my design in my computer.  I use WORD as a program

and it works great.  I made the main image a shade of gray just to knock the

black back some.  I left the sentiment in black.  I printed the image out onto

Neenah 80lb Classic Crest Solar White card stock.

I unfortunately lost my list of Copic colors that I used...sorry.  But

I started by using a cooler green mix. 

Then I added a warmer green mix.

The berries were a very pale blend of cooler greens.  I really didn't get

too fussy with the shading, but made sure I did have a dark base to

the leaves.  I used that darkest green for the stems as well.  I used the

paler greens for the shading on the sentiment banner.

My card base was a warm green and my background paper is

an echo of the design.  It's by Craft Consortium.  I made a base from

the green that was an A2 size top folding and I used it sideways.

I cut a strip of the patterned paper to 5 1/2" x 3 1/2" and adhered

it horizontally.  My main panel measures 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" and

I adhered that in the middle.  Along each side of the main panel

and along the top and bottom of the patterned paper I used very

thin green mirror peel-offs from Love from Lizi.  Just to add a tiny

bit of glitz, I used a shimmer pen on the pale green berries!

This would make a lovely sympathy card and as I was writing this, I

realized this would be amazing in an autumn palette!!!!!!  I might have to do that!
