The theme at the Shopping Our Stash Challenge is Leaf it to Me ... which was the perfect opportunity to ink-up the Concord & 9th Thankful Leaves Turnabout Stamps and Dies I received at the Junkie fest event. My MISTI makes it a piece-of-cake to create a gorgeous background. I used four lovely VersaFine Clair Inks.
I was able to cut my 5 1/2" panel into pieces to make two cards. The first one uses the layout from Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.
I love how I was able to use the 1" pieces of the stamped leaves together with the Thankful leaf die.
The next one uses the layout from Tuesday Morning Sketches.
This one uses the same Thankful Leaves die without the center cut out, as well as two of the smaller maple leaves.
Love how easy those Turnabout Stamps are now that I know the tricks for using them.
That leafy background is gorgeous, and I love the way you cut it into banners for the sketch and topped it with that glorious leaf die. Beautiful!
Thank you for playing along with the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge!
Blessings,

Beautiful creations. I like how you were able to create two gorgeous cards from the initial spectacular panel you stamped. Guess I need to do some shopping. Thanks for joining us at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.

Ooh... Ahhh... your leaf-y paper is gorgeous, and I can practically smell the leaves and cinnamon and woodstove and all things fall. Thanks for visiting again at Shopping Our Stash

Absolutely stunning! The turn about stamps are quite fabulous once you get the hang of them. But you have created a gorgeous fall background paper with these. Thank you for joining us at AHSC this week. Dena, DT

Stunning autumn themed card, Stef! Great stamps and lovely colors, and you did a wonderful job creating your own patterned paper and complemented it perfectly with that leaf die. Thanks for sharing with us this week at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.
