Regal Leaves card – Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Posted on August 23, 2025August 8, 2025 by Mo Rootes

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 Garden Green ink, I stamped the sentiment from the Sunrise Sailing stamp set in the lower right corner.

The stamped panel was adhered to the Blueberry Bushel panel before adding it to the Cherry Cobbler card on Dimensionals.

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.

I placed the dsp strips down over the pencil drawn leaf shape, moving them around until I got the colour palette I liked. I then glued them into position butted up tightly together. I made sure to cut off the excess as I didn’t want the strips poking out when the top panel was in position.
