Here's my final Layered Leaf Print card for a little while! This is the August Betterpress Society plate set and add-on plates. I have a special friend who loves green, that celebrated a big anniversay in August, so it was only fitting that I make her a leafy card with a little extra bling.
I am using my new (to me!) set of Pinkfresh Studio inks today. These are the four green inks in their Garden Stroll set, so I used different inks for each plate, overlapping them all slightly. I have been wanting to try to do more stitching on my cards, so I used my sewing machine, without any thread, to stitch the guideline holes down each of the darkest leaf image fronds. Then I used some Gutterman metallic gold thread, and hand stitched the lines. For a different texture, I made french knots to try to imitate berries on another branch. Finally, I wrapped the thread around the bottom of my piece several times, and secured it in the back.
I cut a piece of Tonic Studios gold metallic paper (colour "Wedding Band") a little larger than my rectangle, and matted it underneath and adhered it to my base with 3D foam tape. The sentiment is from the Everything For You Sentiment plate set - pressed and gold embossed on white cardstock. I added a few Pinkfresh Studio gold pearls to finish it off.
