This morning, I took delivery of a small order from Funky Fossil Designs, in it was a "Skeleton Leaf stencil" which I loved the look of, so had to try it out immediately, making this card.
To make this card, I lay the new Funky Fossil "Skeleton Leaf Stencil" over a piece of white card and used three shades of Ranger Archival ink through the stencil. Starting with "Seagrass", then moving out to "Paradise Teal" and then finally on the very edge of the leaf I used "Night Sky".
Lifting the stencil, I then used the "Sea Grass" and "Paradise Teal" to colour the card between the leaf and the edge of the card.
Next, using Versafine Clair "Arctic" blue ink, I multi stamped some text from the Funky Fossil "Musings Stamp set" around the edge of the leaf. I then inked the edges of the card using Versafine Clair "Medieaval Blue" ink.
I used the flowers from the Funky Fossil "In The Meadow" stamp set, stamped in first and second generation stamping with Versafine Clair "Medieval Blue" ink. I then used the same ink to stamp the sentiment, which is part of the Funky Fossil "Stripped Back Sentiment" stamp set.
I added a touch of colour to the butterflies, also part of the "In the meadow" stamp set, using a Derwent Inktense pencil. Finally adding some white splatters of Posca Pen.
I really love this skeleton leaf stencil and it is a good size to be able to add images within the shape as with your pretty silhouette flowers, and the sweet little butterflies flying out of it, and a great background too with the softly stamped script and finished with a lovely sentiment...a beautiful card Sam. x
