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.

What a versatile leaf stamp. You did and awesome job with all these cards…Anyway, thank you so much for sharing your wonderful project with us this week at Word Art Wednesday. Leaving you with the encouragement of God’s Word in Psalm 27:1 which says, “The Lord is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid?” Hugs and blessings!

These cards are so lovely! I adore how you used actual leaves and thought it was a great way to preserve their beauty. It was also really fun to see the different variations you came up with using the same concept. I always like to see how things look with different color palettes and these are gorgeous. Such a simple image, yet there’s nothing more beautiful and perfect than nature. Excellent work on these and I’m so glad you shared them with us for this week’s Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
