ReplyDeleteOOPS! I'll try again. Both of these cards are beautiful and I love this technique. If I have to choose one, it would be the card with the black outline. I love your sense of humor and this fun, informative video! :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous leaves, gorgeous card!
ReplyDeleteI love all things Mondo. These leaves don’t disappoint. I love how you’ve used them.
ReplyDeleteThe leaves are amazing, especially against the dark blue bg.
ReplyDeleteI think the card would have been fabulous just after you gold embossed, but watching all that beautiful masking and blending, I prefer that one!! Great tips too!
ReplyDeleteThese are pretty cards!
ReplyDeleteI really like this oak leaf combination that you have created. And they are the best kind of leaves, the kind you can scoop up and not have to rake them and dispose of! The blue background is so pretty and I like how it really makes the cool oak leaves POP off the background! Looking forward to your video! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards! Love the fabulous colors and such cool techniques.
ReplyDeleteLove your work of art using the Mondo art set. The color combo is gorgeous and the sentiment compliments it well.
