Card Making: Layered Stamping



When I started to make my own cards again, I realized I had quite a few stamps just collecting dust in a plastic bin in my crafting closet.  I put some of them to good use by creating some simple layering.  The card above was created using a dark green ink.  I stamped across the strip of paper rotating the leaf, but re-inking it each time.  Afterwards, I stopped inking and stamped in between the leaves, letting the stamp get lighter each time.


With this second card, I used a leaf stamp--flipping it and angling it slightly differently each time to create a realistic flower bed look.  Then I used a mum stampin different colors to top of the stem.  I then layered the stamped flower beds on a patterned paper and a solid paper to create a springy feel.

These were both Mother's day cards for my Grandmas (who are both in their 90s and both told me they liked their special cards--but I mean, what else would a Grandma say to their granddaughter :)).
