Leaves on a card

Today I'm going to show the birthday card I made my totally wonderful husband, Dominic!  He loves spring, not just because the weather gets warmer and the countryside wakes up, but because he can go fishing again!  Yay!  I usually make him some kind of fishing card but this year I surprised him with something different.

I started off with a brayered backround using different greens, definitely spring colours.


I added stencilling and stamping for some interest:


I used a funky leaf stencil by Ronda Palazzari called Abstract Leaves and added my home made texture paste through it.  I love how it came out on the backround.


Finally I wrote in a chain and added the buttons. 


He loved it!
