Hi I’m back with the CAS Mix Up challenge using an IO Gingko die to stencil the Simply Less is More Challenge #413 …where MORE but still CAS is the theme.
Using some Distress Oxides Peeled Paint and my die cut stencil, I ink blended the five leaves. Then I used the die itself to sponge the texture. I also added some Clear Wink of Stella and contoured with a Sakura stardust gel pen. The sentiment was first white heat embossed and finally gold heat embossed.
Thanks for stopping by, HUGz, Joanna

I love green for sympathy cards, it’s such a calming colour. Liking the double embossed sentiment too. Thanks so much for sharing with us at Less is More, Anita x

What wonderful depth and detail of these stenciled leaves! They are so serene and the embossed sentiment over them adds another wonderful contrast of texture and color!
