I am a sucker for a leaf stamp and really enjoyed making this simple ombre card using the Simply Leaves stamp set which will be available from my online shop from July. It was inspired by a card I saw made by Janice Thompson of JazzleDazzleCrafts.
Colours used in making this card are:
I created the untouched landscapes card using the following supplies:
Hydrangea Hue card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Misty Moonlight – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White – 5¼” by 3½”
Misty Moonlight – 2” by 2”
Basic White – 1½” by 1½”
Basic White -5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Using Hydrangea Hue ink I stamped a line of leaves, one above the other from the top to the bottom of the 5¼” by 3½” piece of Basic White.

I added a row of leaves in the gaps to the right-hand side using Balmy Blue ink and a final row of leaves to the left with Misty Moonlight ink to the right. The stamped panel was adhered to the layer of Misty Moonlight card.

I coloured a piece of White Baker’s Twine using a Dark Misty Moonlight Blends Pen. When it was dry (it takes a couple of minutes) I wrapped it around the whole piece before gluing the panel to the Hydrangea Hue card front.

From the squares of Misty Moonlight and Basic White card I die cut stitched circles using the Stylish Shapes dies. The sentiment was stamped in Misty Moonlight ink onto the Basic White circle which was then glued to the Misty Moonlight circle. The whole piece was then mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

A twine bow and a trio of Iridescent Pearls finished the card.
