Fall cards?




Yep, I've been working on Fall cards, that feels a little weird, but here's why...a few of us from the Eureka Stamps BB are putting together a group submission for the Fall edition of Take 10 with BI/Eureka stamps and burgundy! I have to get mine done early since they have to walk across the ocean...here's what I've come up with so far! (I think I'm done, but you never know.......) All stamps are by Biblical Impressions. That leafy floral looking background stamp is the squirrel stamp! That was a fun one to do. I just about can't make a card without a background stamp anymore, and BI doesn't have many just decorative ones.

Here's a quickie photo tutorial on how to do the leaf paper: The basics are...stamp leaves on watercolor paper with water-based dye ink, spritz with water till the colors bleed, use a brown blow-pen over the top. Simple and I love love love the effect!
