Reversible stamps

With all the excitement of having a Misti, and being able to layer stamps with it, I'd quite forgotten about a couple of lovely wood mounted reversible layering stamps I have in my collection. Two Autumn leaf stamps, from a US company called Just for Fun, and the date on the wood blocks is 2006 so I've had them a fair while.


They need to be used with a stamp positioner to get the veins in the right place. I masked off the outside of the card, then first stamped the solid side of the stamps with a Kaleidacolor pad then reversed the stamps and stamped the veined side with  dark brown one. I filled the rest of the masked area with sponged dabs of orange and light tan ink and then used peg stamps to fill in the gaps.

I am sharing this with

Lovely rich, autumnal colours, Jane and you have lined up the detail perfectly! I have taken a few stamps off their wood blocks so that I can use them with my stamping platform :)
