Today the Flickr Hero Arts Group is having a scramble with the theme LEAVES with an option of kraft.... I took 2hr 15 mins to make two cards.. so just over an hour for each.
For my first card I used an older cling stamp called Leaf Cluster. I stamped it in a dark green ink and then several times in an olive ink. Added the sentiment and it was ready to mount onto the green card base.
And for my second card I used a set called 3 Leaves
I started by using a Nova brush to add three colours of Distress inks to make an ombre background. I took the smallest leaf and misted it with water and used it to stamp and lift the colour from the background. I then took the middle sized leave and stamped it twice and coloured with Copics and Spectrum Noir markers and fussy cut. Used a Die and stamp set to make the sentiment.
I'm entering my second on into the challenge at Creative with Stamps - theme Leaves.
Glad I took time to have a play this afternoon. I had fun.
Thanks for stopping by.

What stunning cards Dawn - the green on kraft is fabulous, but the one that really makes my heart flutter is the second one with the subtle stamping in the background.
