Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are sharing colouring techniques. I have used Sponge Daubers to add colour directly to a leaf stamp from the Artistic Leaves stamp set.
Colours used to make this card are:
To recreate the colourful leaves card, you will need:
Blackberry Bliss card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Strawberry Slush card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 5” by 3¼”
Blackberry Bliss card – 2½” by ¾”
Basic White card – 2⅜” by ⅝”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
The large, detailed leaf, from the Artistic Leaves stamp set was randomly stamped all over the panel of Basic White card measuring 5” by 3¼” using Early Espresso ink.

Using Sponge Daubers I added Crushed Curry, Strawberry Slush and Blackberry Bliss inks to the infill leaf stamp. I huffed on the stamp to remoisten the ink and stamped overtop of the detailed image.

The stamped panel was then glued to the Strawberry Slush layer before being added to the Blackberry Bliss card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Sunrise Sailing stamp set was stamped on the small piece of Basic White card using Blackberry Bliss ink. The sentiment was then added to the card front.
