More Pretty Leaves

Hello & welcome. I have 4 leaf print cards to share with you today.I have been enjoying using REAL LEAVES to stamp with recently. There is so much beauty in creation and I find it fun & challenging to try and capture a little bit of it on paper.

So, yesterday I inked up some leaves from my yard with some Craft/white ink and/or with red & yellow re-inkers and 3 different Stickles colors (which added some texture to this first card) and then stamped with them.  I’m very happy with how these cards turned out.

I’d like to play this card at Virginia’s View Challenge #20 and SSS Monday: Thanks/Thankful.

I love how nature sings of God’s glory and mercy. I have also been doing some sketching recently too, trying to capture some of the beauty of creation through drawing some of the flora in my yard.

I’d like to play this at Word Art Wednesday’s Challenge #210: Anything Goes.

I’d like to play this last card at CASology’s Challenge: Pretty.

 I used the image Goody Jars, generously supplied by Deedee’s Digis, to make 3 different cards.

 For this first card I also used a sentiment from Happy Little Stampers Everyday Sentiments.

I picked a Cosmo Daisy from my garden and did a sketch and then water colored it. I’d like to play this first card over at Word Art Wednesday’s Challenge #210: Anything Goes.

Here’s the second card. I made a stencil and sponged different colored candies into the jar. After that, I clear embossed the surface of the entire jar. The sentiment is from Happy Little Stampers’ Whimsical Friends.

I used a butterfly and a sentiment from Happy Little Stampers’ Butterfly Birthday.
