Autumn in the Air

Our August stamp class focused on Autumn stamping. My lovely ladies in attendance learned several new techniques & tricks  and we had a great time - as usual. If you haven't attended one of my classes, clear some time to try one. We always have fun and there's always plenty of laughter.

Here's what we made:

Sponged Sunset

Today's card is pretty simple & straight forward. 

I punched a circle out of a large post-it note using the 2 1/2" circle punch.

Placing the hole from the circle in the center of the Whisper White card stock, I started sponging inside the circle opening. 

Sponge from light colors to dark colors. Remember you can always add more to make a color darker but you can't take away to make it lighter.

Once I was happy with the colors I removed the Post-It Note and stamped the image in Basic Black ink.

When I was sure it was all dry, I mounted the Whisper White on to Cajun Craze.
