The challenge prompt this month is:
I used the same leaves stamp and made a thank you card and a birthday card.
[Card 1]
I inked the stamp with fall colors using Sponge Dauber and stamped it on each corner of the card using Misti. I die cut the sentiment twice to layer and glued it in the center of the card.
[Card 2] Birthday Card
I heat-embossed the image and the sentiment in white. I stamped the subtle border in Crumb Cake at the bottom (see the stamp set picture below) and sponged the card to give it an ombre look.
It's hard to see in the picture but stamping the ombre watercolor wash border gave the card more interesting texture than just sponging the background.
I trimmed the panel just a little smaller than the card base and adhered it to the card base.
I hope to play along again whenever I have a chance.
Thanks for stopping by!

These are both gorgeous, Hideko! Love the border of autumn leaves. Gorgeous colours and wonderful dimension with your layered die-cut sentiment. Your emboss resist card is beautiful. Adding the stamping of darker ink at the bottom to create an ombre look is a fantastic design element. Great work! Thanks for playing along with us at Twofer Card Challenge! xx
