Summer Leaves

A bit of watercolour stamping for you today using a beautiful set called 'Summer Leaves' by Stampendous (I've had these for over 10 years but bizarrely not made much use of them).

I find I get the best results with this technique if I stamp once onto scrap paper and then spritz the stamp with water before stamping onto my project.

To get a little variation in the colour I used Distress Oxide inks.  I only have a couple of greens so for the leaf in the 'west' position I used Twisted Citron and then overstamped with Iced Spruce. The purple leaf was done with Wilted Violet. 

Other ingredients:

stamping platform

Fancy Sayings by Clearly Besotted

black Versafine ink

Pink Frog crafts watercolour 280

A6 card blank

enamel dots
