Get Well Soon – Real Leaf Print

Edited on 11/5/2021

I’m so glad this card was chosen as a TOP Three by CAS Mix Up October Mixed Media Challenge. What an honor!

Hi Artsy Friends,

Today I challenged myself to apply Oxide Inks on a real leaf and printed it on a card, thanks to inspirations from several challenges. The shape of the leaf is very special, isn’t it? 

It’s Bauhinia or so-called Purple Camel’s Foot/ Orchid Tree/Mountain Ebony. Bauhinia is very popular here in Taiwan and is one of my favorite street trees. And there’re two huge Bauhinia in my neighborhood. 

The card is for a friend who’s going to have an operation. Hope my card is eye-pleasing to you. Thanks for stopping by and have a beautiful day.

Sentiment is by Hero Arts. Wonky Frame die is by my Favorite Things.

Hi Artsy Friends,

For this card, I went incredibly Clean and Simple, inspired by Altenew September Inspiration Challenge. I decided not only to follow the color combo, but also challenge myself to stretch my CAS limit. I must say it’s a bit tough. Finally, here comes the most CAS card I’ve ever made over a decade. Ha! 

I also made a matching envelop. Hope the set is eye-pleasing to you. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a delightful day.

Card Details

1. All stamps and die (Cross Stitch Canvas) are by Altenew. Wonky Rectangle cover die is by My Favorite Things.

2. The flowers are covered by Wink of Stella and are shining sparkly. It's a shame that the photo does not do it justice.
