I began this project by deciding on a color combo, which landed on Cabbage, Kale, Surf and Ocean. I used a Craft Tacky Mat to get my cardstock panel and first stencil situated. For the first stencil, I used the Cabbage and the Ocean inks, while using Kale for the second stencil. I trimmed the panel down using the new A2 Nested Stitched Rectangles and decided that I did not want this bright white panel. To remedy that, I did some light ink blending over the entire panel using the same Cabbage ink, mainly in the center, and using the Surf on the outer perimeter.

I die cut the You sentiment once from gold cardstock and twice from black cardstock, adhering all of those together for a stacked sentiment. The sub-sentiment was stamped onto black cardstock using VersaMark ink and heat set using white embossing powder. Before adhering the sentiments to the panel, I used a gold chrome marker to go over some of the veins of the leaves for some added interest. The panel was adhered to a black panel, both sentiments were adhered using foam strips and some gold metallic pearls were added to finish up.

That does it for this one! A pretty simple project for sure, but I love the addition of the gold on the leaves! Don’t forget to check out the entire Beautiful Moments release, and I hope you have an awesome day!
