Tips, Tricks and Techniques Tuesday - Changing Leaves

Hello, today I now know that Autumn is on it's way again already, sadly! My rose tree in the front garden has finished flowering and the leaves are beginning to change again too. However, my Magnolias are starting to flower again!! Figure that if you can as I can't! Anyway using the Changing Leaves stamp set again today I have made a card where I stamped all of the leaves onto the white background. 

I then stamped them again several times and fussy cut them out and raised them onto the previously stamped mat. The only one that I didn't re-stamp was the large leaf. Fortunately that is in the centre and ready for the sentiment which is in position perfectly. All of the additional leaves were raised up using Dimensionals to give some height to the card. 

I used Granny Apple Green for the large leaf in the middle, Lemon Lime Twist for the smaller leaf and Lost Lagoon for the 3 finger leaf. I love the way they go together so well.

Make It Simple Monday - #simplestamping - Changing Leaves

 Cary made some beautiful cards last week didn't she? It makes me wish that I lived nearer the sea! Cary's daughter and family live very close to the sea so they are always down in the water, Cary too! This week I am going to be playing with Changing Leaves stamp set. We held an all day class a few weeks ago using this set and making backgrounds. Cary is a whizz at backgrounds and unfortunately I don't do messy and Cary really loves things the messier the better! Shaving Foam, Bubble Wrap, marbles... you name it and she has played with them. 😂

My simple stamping card is just that though today. I stamped all 4 corners and then the tip of the stamp to fill in some of the gaps on the edges. A very simple but rather lovely card even though I say so myself.
