Today is the new Stamp of the Week at Stämpelkällan, and this week it is this lovely Leaf Stamp (A53a). Be sure to head on over and leave a comment, for your chance to win this stamp....it makes for a great embellishment!
You'll notice I've heat embossed the leaves with gold embossing powder, then coloured them up with the new Tim Holtz distress stains. Now that was easy! After cutting them out, I've popped them up with some tiny foam tabs.
I've played along with one of this week's lovely sketches at Tip Top Tuesday, which I think worked out quite well! After making the leaves, I was undecided as to what I wanted to do with them. So, thank you Tip Top!
All of the gold pieces, including the sentiment.....are peel off stickers, which I purchased last year while on holiday. A bit of doodling and DI around the edges to finish it all off.
Now for a few challenges:
