Greetings!
The Artfully Layered bundle which was introduced in the Jan-June 2022 mini catalog is a fabulous collection with a laid back island vibe. Generously sized dies and stamps, simple messages in a carefree font style, and background textures give this it's name, which definitely inspires layering. I opted not to get the beautiful paper pack that goes with this collection (I try not to buy everything!) 😄 so I find other papers to use. The Abstract Beauty Designer Series Papers (DSP) have become a go to when I am looking for "artsy" inspiration and today's card features the beautiful navy/gold splattered print from this paper pack.
The gold splatters inspired my use of various shades of yellow as the complimentary color on this card. I used a technique on the stamped leafy branch that I haven't used in a long time. It's called the Rock-n-Roll technique which is achieved by inking the stamp with one color, then rolling the stamp on another color so just the edges are inked with the other color. You always want to use the lighter color first. This leaf is inked with Crushed Curry and then rolled in Mango Melody. My Mango Melody ink pad was a bit dry so it doesn't look as dark, but I decided to leave it as is and put it on my card. For the outline leaf die cut, I also opted to leave the middles filled in on some of the leaves just for fun.
How cute are those little squares and half squares in the small So Saffron circle! That is one of the two texture dies that are featured in this bundle. I love when these little accents are included and again, perfect for bringing in more artistic inspiration. The 2020-2022 In-Color Square Gems, which are retiring, were just the right size to add for a little pop.
