Botanical Print: Take Two

  • by

I have a second botanical print for the CAS Mix-Up Challenge before it ends.

October 2021

As I was cleaning off my desk Wednesday night, I saw this vellum piece that I had printed with the same Distress Oxide inks and the same leaf as I used for my first botanical print here. It wasn’t what I was looking for the first time, but I decided I really did like it and decided to see what I could do with it. I’m quite happy with the result.

I cut the vellum piece and then added two very narrow gold metallic strips to the top and the bottom so I would have a place to adhere it to the card.

Before adding the vellum to the Terra Cotta card base, I stamped this lovely sentiment from Concord and 9th’s “Hey, Bestie.” The font is so elegant.

I might like this “after-thought” card better than the original. I wish every card I made came together so easily!

It’s been a crazy busy week, and the weekend looks no different. I’m still hoping to squeeze in some crafting, and hopefully, showing up here again before too long.

    This is really beautiful, Karen! LOVE the gold accents to compliment your beautiful leaf print. I love the dreamy look of the vellum. Thanks for sharing with us again at CAS Mix Up!

    Beautiful, simple, elegant are just a few words to describe this card. I also like the beautiful script of the greeting – it makes me want to learn calligraphy (col).

    The font of this sentiment is beautiful and the gold is so elegant with the beautiful print leaf! Maybe it wasn’t what you were looking for earlier, but it steals the show now! Thanks for sharing with us again at CAS Mix Up!
