Tropical Thank You w/Kara

Hello! It's Kara and I have something a little tropical to share with you today. I love all of the different ways designers are using tropical leaves recently. I've been seeing these large leaf designs on all kinds of homeware: pillows, dinnerware and even wallpaper! If you're like me and not bold enough to add them to your home we can certainly enjoy them on our cards.

I love this large leaf stamp from the new Modern Calla Lilies set. It reminds me of the kind of leaves I've been seeing in these trendy designs. I decided to stamp the leaf several times, overlapping the image, but also leave a lot of white space. I colored in the leaves with green Copic markers. I chose 3 coordinating greens. I colored each leaf a different shade and where they overlapped I got even more color variation.

I created black panels to go on top of my designs using the 4 Bar Stitched Rectangle Die. By die cutting the words 'thank you', using the No One Else die set, it allowed the leaf design to peek through.

I added a stamped sentiment using the No One Else stamp set on both cards. For the card on the left I created a little tab to stamp my sentiment and added it to the side of my black panel.

I hope you enjoyed and it inspires you to bring a little of the tropics into your craft space! Thanks for stopping by!
