Beth's Paper Cuts: Soft Seedlings stamp set with Sponging Technique

Hi everyone! Today I am thinking fall with the Soft Seedlings stamp set. I love fall, it's my favorite season, and I always look for the new 'Leaf set' when the new mini catalog comes out. Sometimes the new leaf set is a big one with lots of leaves and dies, sometimes it's whimsical, sometimes realistic, but there is always a new leaf set and I always get it!

This year the set is soft and pretty. The images are delicate without bold solid lines. I love the way it stamps. I knew that the first card I made with it would have to be fall colored with reds and yellows. I decided to stamp with Cherry Cobber, Crushed Curry and Soft Suede.

The card Base is Very Vanilla Thick, stamped along the edge with the seed pod stamp. I then added another layer of Very Vanilla, trimmed with a strip of Brushed Metallic foil in copper, for the main leaf image.

To get multiple colors on my image, I used sponge daubers to ink up the stamp.

I really wanted to use the new "Cut Leaf Labels and Amber Gems Combo Pack" so I added a leaf under the sentiment and some Gems around the main image.

The sentiment is embossed in copper and layered on a scrap of Brushed Metallic foil in copper. I punched the end of the sentiment pieces with the Banners Pick a Punch. A little bit of linen thread for a bow completed the card.
