Celebration Tidings

 

 Last night I needed to make a thank you card, so I decided to use this new 

Holiday Mini Catalog stamp set called- 'Celebration Tidings'.

And this simple card is what I ended up creating!

I like it & I hope you do too!

 

Check out the center of the card......this technique is called block stamping.

How did I do it?

• Here I stamped the leaves using Early Espresso ink.
• Then took the CLEAR BLOCK C.
• I inked it into Crumb Cake ink.
• I then pressed it down over the leaves.
• And check out the neat rectangle shading I got by doing this.

Ink the CLEAR BLOCK C into Crumb Cake ink & press over the leaf stamped image.

This is what it looks like after stamped.

I colored the inside of these leaves with my Wink of Stella.

Since I used a water base ink, the Wink of Stella pulled out the 

Crumb Cake & Early Espresso inks. 

This is just a great fall 'thank you' card.  

And this 'Celebration Tidings' is a great all occasions stamp set!
