The Wilderness Awaits & Vintage Leaves....

 We had a lot of fun in class when we made these cards since everyone's cards ended up looking so much different!  I cut a bunch of leaves out of Sahara Sand, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede and Early Espresso cardstock using the Leaflets framelits and just let everyone select which stamp they wanted on each leaf.  They were then glued onto a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock that had been stamped using some of the Vintage Leaves stamps and Crumb Cake ink.  Once the pieces were glued on, we ran them through the Big Shot using the Brick Wall embossing folder and ..... boring.  That is, until we took a sponge and began sponging the embossed edges and then.... wow!  Super cool!

Happy New Year! The Wilderness Awaits....

Well, it is another 10 months until I begin posting Christmas cards again and I will tell ya, I am relieved to show you some things other than Christmas stuff!  How about a few masculine cards using The Wilderness Awaits stamp set?  Just a little inspiration for those upcoming birthdays!

In this card, we stamped the duck using StazOn ink so we could color the duck using an Aquapainter and Classic inks.  Lots of layering and the English Garden Designer Series Paper brought this look together.
