Handmade With Love by Leica

  Hello, friends! Today I am sharing a slimline card, featuring some adorable Pretty Pink Posh lions.  Let's start with the panel, which is 3.5 x 8.5 inches. From top to bottom, I ink blended with Dried Marigold, Ripe Persimmon, Crushed Olive, and Peeled Paint distress oxides. I've been enjoying the paint splatters look lately, so I used white and gold acrylic paint for that. I then stitched around the card with linen thread.

It is just so fun and easy to mix and match Pretty Pink Posh stamps and dies, old and new.  I colored with Copic markers and cut with their coordinating die cuts.  I really love the new  Simple Sentiments Stamp Set  as it covers any occasion and fits perfectly onto one of the  Simple Strips Die...

For an effortless look, I intentionally did not line up the stencil perfectly and then splattered with black and gold acrylic paint.  I chose to feature the adorable hippo and the leaves from  Jungle Additions Stamp Set  for this card. The stitched square that I used to stamp the sentiment onto is from  Storybook 5 Dies . Dots and lines go together in design, so I added black strips using the new  Simple Strips Dies . The strips are not long enough for a slimline, so I hid the edges behind the white square and ...
