Stamping with Kristen

Colorful Leaves

The leaves in Minnesota are turning right now, and it is so pretty!  Each day it looks a little different.  I just love Fall leaves.  I wanted to create a card using the leaves in Colorful Seasons with different shades in it.  There are a few ways you can do this, but I chose to use stamp pads and a spritzer.  

 

To do this, pick 2 or more colors of stamp pads and stamp starting with the lightest color first. Take the second color and add it around the edges and a little in the middle. Spray a little water on the stamp.  If you get to much water on it, you will not get a good defined image.  I suggest trying it on scrap paper first.  Clean your stamp off each time so you do not wreck your lighter stamp pad.    

I made a quick video to show how to do this:

 

 

You can use this same technique for any solid stamp.  It looks great on flowers too.  

 

Here is the finished card. The Early Espresso is 4 1/8 X 1 1/2".  I used Thick Vanilla card stock since the stamp would be a little wet.  The thick card stock holds up much better when things are a little damp.  The Vanilla card tock is 3 3/4x 3 3/4.  I LOVE the new copper trim.
