A stunning, colourful, regal leaves card made using the Artistic Leaves stamp set and the ten colours in the regal family from Stampin' Up!

Regal Leaves card – Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we are showcasing something we have been working on recently. I was recently challenged to use all the ‘regal’ colours in a project. I am a subtles or brights girl, so this really pushed me out of my comfort zone. I eventually came up with a card made using the Artistic Leaves stamp set.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

To recreate the colourful leaves card, you will need:

Cherry Cobbler card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Blueberry Bushel card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

 

I stamped the leaves from the Artistic Leaves stamp set from the upper right corner to the lower left corner using the following inks – Crushed Curry, Real Red, Cherry Cobbler, Cajun Craze, Gorgeous Grape, Blueberry Bushel, Pretty Peacock, Shade Spruce & Old Olive.

Each time the leaf was stamped I changed to direction of the image.

Using the following Blends Pens I coloured in 5 Iridescent Pearls and added them to the card front – Darling Duckling (we have no Crushed Curry Blend), Cherry Cobbler, Cajun Craze, Blueberry Bushel and Shaded Spruce. These were then scattered around the leaves on the card front.
