Tree of Hearts

I made this card, on request, for a friend's daughter to celebrate her going off to University recently. I'd made the topper when I was playing with inks and shaving foam one day, and then it had sat in a box waiting for further inspiration.

It felt like the perfect card to express a mother's love for her daughter as she started out on a new stage in her life, and a simple good luck banner and some shading seemed like all the finishing it needed.

The tree image was formed by pulling inky shaving foam through a stencil, and then it was given extra dimension by creating a shadow with pencils on one side. The background was the same inky foam dragged over a plain piece of cardstock.

      Thank you Wilma. The stencil is by Clarity, and I learnt the technique from their founder Barbara Gray, it's great fun: messy, completely unpredictable and worth it.

    Thank you Zeljka. I confess the banner isn't a die cut. The banner itself is a stencil element which I inked through, and then I cut it out by hand.
