SUPPLIES USED

landscape stamp - Crafty Individuals by Magenta #95276-N

white acrylic paint

distressing tool - Stampin' Up!

MORE AUTUMN BLESSINGS

Hello all  :o)

Another card to inspire you to join in the current challenge over at 

the TRY IT ON TUESDAY blog...

Hoping this helps you know you can get a nice little effect following a theme with super-limited time and/or limited supplies!  

TECHNIQUES

just ink to rubber to paper!

  

I did use a stamp positioner to help me stamp the same leaf two or three times to really saturate the colors, because the pads are some mostly retired Stampin' Up! inks that are a little dry - can you say too thrifty to buy all new pads, or more reinkers?!  ;o)

SUPPLIES

leaf stamps - Stampin' Up! "Wonderfall" set

word and bough stamps -  American Crafts Jen Hadfield "Warm and Cozy" set #372096

metallic gold flat back dots - random

 Thanks for stopping in!
