The focal point of this stamp is a very old Rubber Stampede falling leaf stamp. I can't recall exactly when I bought it but I'm guessing it's about 25 years old. I coloured it with Promarkers then cut it out with a narrow border. I often fussy cut it along the outlines but as I wanted to create this background I thought it needed the white for definition.
For the background, I masked the edges of the card then stamped all over with a speckle design stamp and a Kaleidacolor pad, then used a leaf silhouette and the brown end of the pad to lightly stamp a few leaves here and there.
I added a stamped sentiment and two buttons that have an all-over autumn leaf design, finished with twine bows.

ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful card and the leaves give a different look when used in a stamp and as a site.. Too much dimension and the idea of buttons as embellishments is fantastic
