Wild & Free with the New Shady Designs Collection

I'm absolutely thrilled to introduce you to the latest release from Shady Designs: the Wild & Free Collection. This collection features two stunning A5 clear stamp sets: Fungi & Flora and Leafy Loops. 

I've been playing around with the Leafy Loops set and I'm completely smitten! Okay, I am slightly biased because they are my designs (lol). The individual leaf elements are so versatile, allowing you to create everything from delicate floral sprays to full wreaths.

For this project, I wanted to explore two different card backgrounds to showcase the versatility of the Leafy Loops stamp set.

Card 1: Mixed Media Magic

For the first card, I created a textured background using mowed lawn and twisted citron Distress Oxide inks on to white mixed card. I added a few copper splatters to lighten the background a little. 

On another piece of card, I stamped the Leafy Loops in black Versafine Nocturne ink, coloured with my Sakura Koi pens and cut the images out.

I layered up the card design with 3D foam pads and then faffed a little about where to put the bird image! The sentiment is part of the Leafy Loops stamp set. As a finish, I added yellow gold splatters & gold sequins.

Card 2: Tonal Elegance

For the second card, I started with a pre-coloured tonal green mixed media cardstock, (from Royal Talens). Using the same oxide ink colours: mowed lawn & twisted citron, I added an inky background. This gave me more of a fauna/greenery feel background.

As before, on another piece of card, I stamped the Leafy Loops in black Versafine Nocturne ink, coloured with my Sakura Koi pens and cut the images out. As a finish, I added yellow gold splatters & gold sequins.

One of my favourite things about this stamp set is the ability to create a full wreath by adding in the separate leaf element in the gap. I have shown this, in this finished card.
