A Little Leafy With Cloud 9 and Archival

Hiya everyone, This month at Ecclectic Ellapu the Purple teams theme is Leaves/Foliage. I have had this great stamp set from Cloud 9, called Leaves, for years and it was still brand new in it's packet lol. So basically as you can see I stamped a pretty much random scattering of leaves about using Archival Inks in Viridian, Potting Soil, Library Green, Watering Can, Plum and Leaf Green. It doesn't show to well in the pic but I didn't clean my stamps in between each colour which in some cases made whole new colours and in others gave a nice mottled effect.

I used a Spellbinders Lacey Square die for my sentiment which is from Inkadinkado's Expessions set. I added some more leaves around the words and mounted the die cut with foam tape for some dimension. A nice easy one this time... Stay tuned though because I also have another more feminine card featuring one of my all time favourite stamp sets :)

Stretch Your Stamps 2 Random Patterns Part 2

Hiya so I wasn't super happy with the last card so I tried again, this time with the spotty circle from the Fiskars Shapes N' Such set. I also used Prima Hybrid inks for the first time and loved them! I used Vanilla, Rose Petal, Sky and Lilac as well as Archival Black ink to stamp my sentiment from Cloud 9. If you're liking what I'm making check out the class at Online Card Classes.
