LIMES - Big Hugs

Welcome to this week's LIMES inspiration post!

I chose this card as my inspiration from the gallery of this week's Splitcoaststampers' Featured Stamper!

LIST: Colours (blue, green, white, black) , Techniques (stencil, die cut, stamping) , Elements (rows of graphic leaves in the background, white sentiment focal circle with scallops and die cut branches.

INCLUDE: blue, white, green, black, stencil, die cut, rows of graphic leaves, white

MODIFY: background is white leaves on blue/green background, paste through stencil, sentiment panel is layered with a blue mat ‘hugging’ the white circle

EXCLUDE: scallops, die cut branches

SPIN:

I love the graphic leaves in the inspiration card, and tried a reverse technique - a layered, ink-smooshed background with white paste through a stencil on top. The paste picked up some of the water-reactive colour behind it and gives a softer look.
