Sending Hugs feat. Waffle Flower

Waffle Flower sent me the Pop-up Leaves Panel Die and Fall Leaves Background Stencil to play with and they were every bit as satisfying to play with as I imagined! Plus, the card came together so quickly and it's absolutely stunning with that big of texture and all those details.

I love all the different leaves on this die and you can use as few or as many colours as you want. I hadn't used my distress inks in a while so I chose Crackling Campfire, Saltwater Taffy and Salvaged Patina.

I didn't own any of the Waffle Flower shader brushes until recently and, boy, was I missing out! They are so cute and I just love how they feel in my hands. There are several sizes and they're made for small areas such as this. My favourites are the new Shader Brush 0+ Set and Shader Brush 1+ Set. I will definitely be buying more!

After die cutting the background and stencilling it on white linen cardstock, I splattered it with a shimmer spray and soaked it up with a paper towel. When it was dry, I lifted up the edges of the leaves, being careful not to put creases in the cardstock. 

Next, I glued the stencilled panel to sheet of Pale Rose cardstock of the same size for a bit of extra dimension before attaching it to a Pale Rose card base. I trimmed a Subsentiments Hugs Diecut and popped it on to the panel with a foam strip. To finish, I added several white glitter enamel dots.
