Description:

Take leaves from different trees that are still soft & pliable. To make your background, rub the vein side of the leaf on a stamp pad. On a light sheet of cardstock, you will press the leaf onto the cardstock. I used a sponge to press on the leaf to transfer the ink. On some of the leaves, I spread some of the ink just outside the leaf, like a border around the leaf.

Experiment with the look you want. Some of the leaves I was able to go from the ink pad to the cardstock, while with other leaves I found I like the look of spritzing it with water with a fine mist. Play with this to see what look you like best.

To get the color onto the leaves, I used a brayer but, you can use your fingers. I did wear rubber gloves for this because we were going out for dinner & I didn't want ink on my fingers.

Use several colors. I used Fall colors but you do not have to. This is your background. Finish the card anyway you want but, please do not just slap on some stickers & call it done.

This card is to be signed by you.
