After you see them, I think you'll agree, all of the Innovative Stamp Creations Sept line is fantastic! This sneak peak uses the Shades of Autumn set. And there are more wonderful images on this set alone.
The three sizes of Sea Grape leaves were stamped and masked in a random pattern across a piece of watercolor paper. On a separate piece, I stamped each leaf once more. They were colored using markers and a water brush. The three extra leaves were cut out.
I used a Spellbinders rectangle die to cut out the center of my bg panel. I edged it w/ a black marker then attached it to a fern green layer that I punched all the way around using a loop edge border punch. Then I attached this back on top of the area where it was cut out. Another green layer was added underneath.
The three cut out leaves were attached w/ foam tape and a cut out strip w/ the sentiment was added. Raffia was tied thru a button and then glued in place. Finished card is 5.5 x 4.25 (A2).
Thanks so much for looking! My blog:The Write Stuff. Sorry! I had to delete a bunch of really old posts from my blog & this is one of them
