HEY Monstera....!!

Hey CAS friends!!

It's DT Ashlee here with you today. Who's ready for some new Create a Smile stamps inspiration. I had lots of fun using sprays and die cuts to create this one!! Come check it out....

Truthfully I just really wanted to play with this fabulous new Monstera die from the cool cuts double pierced ovals set....

- Start with a white cardstock base and ink around the edge/slightly into the centre with Distress oxide ink Twisted Citron.

- Splatter with black paint mixed with a little water.

- Using another piece of cardstock create a panel to use for the die cuts by spraying with some Dina Wakley gloss sprays all over.

- Once all dry die cut multiple Monstera leaves.

- Adhere all the leaves onto the card base using foam tape.

- Cut off any leaves that are hanging over the edge of the card base.

- Die cut the sentiment HEY from the Lemon alphas using black and white cardstock.

- Adhere sentiment onto one of the leaves using liquid glue.

- Complete card by adding a touch of sequins.

Play around with sprays, get out multiple pieces of cardstock and just spray. Each piece will turn out different and its so fun to see the end results once dry!!

Double pierced ovals 

Lemon alphas

Just be creative, enjoy the process and see what happens!!

Happy crafting, hugs Ashlee.
