With Gratitude

Here is another swap card. I love leaves, nature, and the colors of fall. This is a fun card to make, but while making 40 of them, I had to ask myself, "why do I do this to me?" To create the background, I used the smaller leaf stamp. Using the "stamping off" technique again, I ramdomly stamped with 3 colors, Really Rust, Old Olive, and So Saffron on Very Vanilla cardstock. Then I stamped the large leaf on top of that with Really Rust. That makes a total of about 20 leaves per card, times 40 cards...you can do the math. All I know is that's alot of leaves. But, it was worth it. I am very pleased with the way it turned out, and will be proud to swap this one. I repeated this technique for the sentiment. Then mounted it on Really Rust cardstock, using the Slit Punch and copper brads from the Vintage Collection.

I think I figured out how to do this so you should be able to click on the image to view it larger.
