Inky Leaves for the Kylie Bertucci Demonstrator Training Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to my blog.  My name is Mo Rootes from Cambridge in the UK and I am thrilled to be taking part in this blog hop with fellow demonstrators, from around the world, who are part of Kylie Bertucci’s demonstrator training program. The theme for the hop is ‘Thank You’ and I am sure you will find lots of inspiration as you hop along with us

You may be starting here or have come from another blog – either way you can find the hop list at the bottom of this post so please hop along with us today.

To recreate the Inky Leaves card, you will need:

Balmy Blue card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded lower right corner
Mossy Meadow – 4” by 3” – rounded lower right corner
Whisper White – 3⅞” by 2⅞” – rounded lower right corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded lower right corner

Using the leafy image; I stamped in the upper right and lower left corners in Balmy Blue ink onto the Balmy Blue card front and set it aside.

I punched a 2” circle from the copy paper and used it as a mask to ink a circle onto the smaller panel of Whisper White. I used one of the lovely new Blending Brushes and Balmy Blue ink.

Using Mossy Meadow ink, I stamped the outline leaf image over the inked circle. I added the infill colour using 2nd generation Mossy Meadow ink.

The sentiment was stamped in Mossy Meadow ink onto the stamped panel and the whole piece was added to the Mossy Meadow panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I wrapped a piece of Mossy Meadow Braided Linen and Whisper White Baker’s Twine around the panel and tied them in a bow. The whole layer was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

  1. This card is elegant and understated, but has some fabulous details that make a seemingly simple card so unique and interesting. Thank you.

  2. Hi Mo – your card is perfect! I love all the little details – the stamping in the background, adding design to the inside, rounded corners, stamping on the envelope…it really brings it all together. Thanks for sharing.
