CARD DETAILS

The Monstera Leaf is a 4-set layering stencil sized to work for an A2 card. Each stencil measures 4 ¼ x 5 ½” and creates one oversized leaf, perfect to fill the entire background of an A2 card. I wanted to do something different, to make a modern monstera leaf, so I ink-blended one part of the leaf green and another part pink.

For the green side of the leaf, I used: Limelicious, Pearfection, and Field Pawsitively Saturated inks by Simon Says Stamp. To mask one side of the lead I followed the center vine line and masked the opposite side of the leaf using paper by simply holding the piece of paper in place.

For the pink side, I used: Peony, Rose, and Cherry. I love this bold and vibrant color combination.

With the ink blending done, I trimmed the panel to 4 x 5 1.4” and used a MISTI stamping tool to stamp the sentiment – “You go, girl” using Versafine Onyx Black ink.

Lastly, I foam mounted the panel onto Simon’s Fog card base using thin foam adhesive squares and embellished the card by using 2 new sequin mixes from Simon – the Summer Mix and the Garden Mix.

Have fun creating!
