SSS Printmaking Leaves, Take 3

Happy Friday!  I have one last Printmaking Leaves card to share with you this week.

This time, I stamped the leaves with Paprika, Blush, and then gold embossed the final leaf layer. The stems were stamped with Cappuccino.

I then used the die to cut the leaves from three panels of dark brown cardstock, adhering them together to create essentially a chipboard layer.

The sentiment, also from the set, was gold embossed, the brown 'chipboard' piece was centered over the leaves, and both were then adhered to my card base.

I hope you enjoyed this week's look at Printmaking Leaves, have a great weekend!

SSS Printmaking Leaves, Take 2

I've got a couple more Printmaking Leaves cards to share with you today.  This time, I'm using the dies as well. I started by stamping and die cutting a bunch of leaves using Cherry, Taffy, Mandarin, and Mocha.

For the card on the left, I took a panel of white cardstock, added just a bit of light inking around the edges using a bit of both Cherry and Taffy.  The leaves were then arranged in a slightly offset circular pattern and popped up with foam tape.

For the sentiments, I used the Thank You Basics set, stamping with Versafine Clair black ink.

For the second card, I started by die cutting one of the Petal Tipped Labels dies, sized for the sentiment, which is from my Sketched Leaves set.

I lightly traced around the Petal Tipped Label on my white card base so I had a guide for placing my leaves.  I again added a bit of soft inking with Cherry and Taffy, this time in the center of the panel, and then arranged my leaves around the Petal Tipped Labe shape.

There are two layers of leaves, the back layer adhered directly to the panel, and the second layer popped up with foam adhesive. 

Once this was done, the Petal Tipped Label shape was also adhered with foam tape.

I've got one more Printmaking Leaves card to share with you guys tomorrow, see you then!

SSS, Printmaking Leaves

This week I'm sharing cards created using my newest printmaking set, Printmaking Leaves. It's been a while since I designed a printmaking set, and it was fun to revisit this series.  There are four parts to the leaves, three layers which create the leaves, and one which stamps the stems.

Today's cards use just the stamp set in a very straightforward way.

The card on the left was stamped with Limelicious, Pearfection, Artichoke, and Mocha for the stems, while the card on the right was stamped with Cherry, Citrine, Mandarin, and Mocha.

The sentiments for both cards are included in the set.

For this next card, I stamped on kraft using Nutmeg, Honey, Paprika, and Mocha.

To add a bit of drama to the card, I added a bit of inking around the edges with Paprika, and then a bit of gold splatter using my Kuretake Starry Colors watercolors.  Once again, the sentiment is also from the set.

That's all for me today.  I've got more Printmaking Leaves to share tomorrow, see you then!
