STAMPING WITH LEAVES

STAMPING WITH LEAVES


1. SUPPLIES


a. Use leaves that have prominent veins behind them.
The main leaf I used here is hibiscus leaf.
b. 3D outliners from FEVICRYL or equivalent.
c. Glitter pens, spongers, water colors(or ink)

2.


Here I took a sheet from an old novel and tore from all 4 sides. Place the leaf to get an idea about where it should be.



3.
Spread the 3d outline all over the leaf evenly .Made sure all the edges are covered. Applied it to its stem too.

4.
Now took the leaf and placed it on the paper. Dabbed over it evenly covering the whole leaf. Removed the leaf slowly. This was how it look.

Note: The image would never come fully. It looks great however it comes though.
5Sponged dark green color around the image.

6Sponged black color at the edges


7 Used the same method and stamped with the other leaf shown above.

8Took another hibiscus leaf and stamped it in black. Here I have used water colors. They are very easy to work with. Applied it on the leaf with sponge.

9 Highlighted the stamped images with glitter pens .
Did the veins of the main leaf with a green marker.
10
Took a yellow cardstock and stamped in orange(first) and red with a hibiscus leaf here.

11Assembled everything together. Added the punched flowers and sponged the edges red.

Thanks for viewing… hope you liked it!

Have a great day.
