This project pairs one of the wood looks from Frostwood Lodge Designer Series Papers with the Gently Falling two-step stamp set. It is a case of a card by in the gallery by Vicki Burdick.
I stamped the leaves in Soft Suede using the leaf outline from the 2-step stamp set. Then I stamped with More Mustard as the second step of the Gently Falling stamp set. Then I used a sponge dauber and ink from the Cajun Craze ink pad around the edges of each leaf. I tried edging the leaf two different ways. First I sponged the edges before cutting out the leaf. Then I tried it where I cut out the leaf and then held the leaf in my hand to sponge the edges. Both worked equally well and gave about the same results. Then, after cutting out each leaf, I used my bone folders and slightly curled the edges of the leaf to give them even more dimension. It made the leaves look much more life-like, in my opinion. I added one of the Spice Cake designer Buttons in the fun jumbo size. There were so many sentiments that would look good on this card. "Grateful" form Always Thankful, or "Give Thanks" from Hand-Penned Holidays. I used Thank You from the Perfectly Penned sentiment set.
