Momenta Tropical Dies





I splattered and dipped some white cardstock into Distress Inks in Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn. I diecut the leaf from green cardstock and used the negative space as a stencil with Mowed Lawn ink and a blending tool.



There are 5 different types of tropical leaves in the set. For this card I liked the idea of having a different leaf in the background than the ones I diecut.

 

For the flowers, I used colored cardstock, saved a bit of time and ink. I took some Distress Oxides and colored the edges and centers to add a bit of dimension. In the photo you can see how the dies cut AND emboss some lines onto the flowers and leaves. If you use a blending tool and a darker shade of ink, it'll make the lines stand out. 



For the 2nd card, I blended the background with Distress Oxide inks. I took a piece of vellum and stamped it and then heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I attached this vellum onto the inked background, hiding the glue under the white embossed flowers.

The Tropical dieset is Momenta #2157733.
The background stamp in the second card is  Momenta #2117117.
