I'm thrilled that it's my turn to be your designer for this week at Muse.
The idea at Muse is to use the designer's card as your inspiration, and then create a project using one or more of the elements, e.g. layout, colours, technique, etc. I always love seeing how you interpret our cards each week.
I had the rough idea of this card in my head and I have to say, I love how this one turned out. I love neutrals and monochrome designs so I'm really pleased with this one.
I started with a panel of white cardstock slightly smaller than my card base and die cut a leaf from it. After trawling through my paper pads I chose the brown/tan striped paper to use as my background. I adhered the panel to the striped paper which I cut slightly larger, and then adhered these flat to the card base. I then added a little gold gilding wax to the die cut leaf to give it some metallic shimmer and also cut another leaf from some clear vellum. I arranged these around the negative leaf image and adhered the cardstock leaf. I then heat embossed a sentiment in copper onto a strip of white cardstock, popped this up on 3D foam and used this to hold the vellum leaf in place.
