Leaf Stamping Technique and Simply Create Too Challenge #46

                I am really liking this Leaf Stamping technique: 

       So, I got some leaves from my backyard, which weren't from any of my trees, so didn't recognize what kind they are.  I then inked them up and put them on the cardstock and pressed.  Then I spritzed with a bottle of something that I made in the past and forgot to label!  I think it was some Island Indigo re-inker with some alcohol or water.  Hummmn.  Don't know.  That will teach me!  But I think it turned out to be a pretty effect.  I stamped and heat embossed my ladybugs and from SU! Winged Things, and then colored them with SU! Markers, and then covered with Glossy Accents.  I used dementionals to raise the oval punched sentiments from Winged Things. Cardstock and Ink used was Pool Party, and Island Inidgo.


Backyard leaves
Inky fingers

Not only did I get ink all over me when I inked up the leaves, but also, when I spritzed, that was everywhere, too.   I first spritzed the wrong direction! LOL  When I did the glossy accents, that got messy too!  It wouldn't come out, so I stuck a pin in the end and then it poured all over!  So now you know why the sentiment is where it is!  Haha! :)
