Take Three: Spring Day 2

Here we are on day 2 of the release!  After months of preparation it is always very excting to finally get to release week and then it just flies by and before I know it it's release night. So today I am going to take it in stride...

Today's cards will reveal the second set of images from Take Three Spring stamp set.  As I mentioned yesterday, the first set of images was the bunny with the stitched edge. Today's image is a leaf image which will surely take your breath away.

CARD #1

I began the card by stamping the image using one of my fav techniques called Rock and Roll.  I inked the image in Spring Moss and rolled the edges in New Leaf--I love the subtle hints of colour.  Then I punched the image using the 1 3/8 inch punch and applied gloss to the leaf to add dimension and gloss appeal!  Next I cut strips of paper and ran them through the pindot embossing folder.  I also cut a strip of paper and used the scallop punch.  You'll also note that I inked Text Style background stamp in snow cap.  As a final touch I added some ribbon.

CARD #2

I decided to pair Nichole's gorgeous set Turning a New Leaf with the leaf image from this set.  Now keep in mind, there are three takes to this leaf.  Today you will only see 2 of them. I began by stamping an image from Turning a New Leaf on Linen Vellum cardstock.  I just LOVE that linen look.  Next I stamped a series the solid leaf  image on stamper's select cardstock and matted it on dark chocolate.  I wanted a splash of colour and decided that raspberry frizz and aqua mist would do the trick.  I used the scallop punch for appeal. I also ran the aqua mist through the pindot folder for added texture.  As a final touch I added some ribbon.
