The Stampin’ Up! Tropical Leaf stamp set and punch were the ticket to today’s quick and easy “thanks” card. Stamp the largest leaf twice (Granny Apple Green and Lemon Lime Twist) and layer the coordinated veining in Memento Tuxedo Black. Line the leaves up for a perfect crop with the Tropical Leaf Punch.
These two products are available as part of the Stampin’ Up! On-Line Exclusives (not in the catalog) and CAN sell out! Purchase them together as a bundle (item #161249) and save 10%! See more On-Line Exclusive products here.
WHAT I LOVE! I adore the look of Basic Black behind these two bright green leaves. It gives a chalkboard effect, especially when I heat embossed the sentiment in white on Basic Black card stock.
