Come to Gather- fall card!

I love this card!!  It is a totally Susie card.

I used a folded baby wipe & ink refills, to stamp into & get this rainbow of different colors on the leaves.

Can you guess what colors I used for the ink refills?

• Soft Suede
• Pumpkin Pie
• Crushed Curry
• Old Olive

Look closely at the embossed leaves.  I used a sponge dauber & Soft Suede ink.  You add the ink directly to the detailed (cutting side) of the die, lay it face down onto your card stock & cut it with your embossing folder.  It is so cool that just a little color can add so much dimension to the cut out leaf!

Look at both of these cards.  Which direction to do you like better?  Vertical or Horizontal?  

I'm sure you already know that I like the horizontal one the best!!!

How did I do it?

1.  Randomly add dots of ink refill onto the baby wipe.  Leave a tiny space between them or have them barely touch- as they will run into each other as they absorb into the baby wipe.

Here are the 4 colors I used- Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, Crushed Curry, Soft Suede

2.  Press your stamp directly into the baby wipe.  Notice how I used a sour cream lid under my baby wipe & then I also have my paper piercing mat under that- so help it get an even coverage.
IMPORTANT:  You want to go up & down to ink your stamp in the same spot.....do not turn or go in various locations or you'll add different ink colors on top of each other- which will make the colors muddy!
3.  Then stamp them onto your card stock.  
4.  Reink your stamp & stamp another leave onto your card stock.
