Loveliest Tree
I love looking at fall leaves so what better thing to stamp than colorful fall leaves. This is one of the cards everyone stamping with me this week got to make.

For this colorful leaf card I used the Ink Swipe Technique. This technique is quick and simple to do using some of your favorite colors for fall. And why not use Very Vanilla card stock too? I love using this card stock during the holidays as it has a warmer less bright feel to it.
1.Using your open Crushed Curry ink pad swipe, tap, and drag it onto
your card stock randomly.
2. Repeat with additional Peach Pie, Timid Tiger, Old Olive, Cherry
Cobbler ink pads. (Making sure to go from lightest to darkest color to
protect ink pads.)
3. Allow to dry.
4. Use a lighter Darling Duckling ink pad and swipe the pad over card
stock to fill in and “blend” the areas.
5. Stamp tree onto Very Vanilla Card stock panel using Early Espresso
Classic Ink as well as stamping it onto the colorful panel you have just made.
6. Die cut both of them.
7. Trim the top of the tree off of the technique die cut tree.
8. Adhere the tree top over the other stamped tree.
9. Layer a piece of Very Vanilla ocer a piece Of Crushed Curry.
10. Adhere the tree to the layered panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
11. Adhere to card front using dimensionals.
Isn't this a fun technique? When I make another one I will probably go a little lighter with the Cherry Cobbler swiping, but overall I am very happy with the results.
I only wish it were as warm outside as the sun makes it appear. I do have an appointment in Iowa and want to run a couple of errands while I am there. When I get home I am going to try to plan a new type of class that I want to try out. I am not sure if I am going to have it before the holidays or wait until after the first of the year. Stay tuned to see what it is!!!
Every day is a gift . . . make the most of the gift you have been given today!!
Happy Stamping!!
