a card a day in may - 5/8: THANKS

Howdy! Time for another A Card A Day In May post. This is also an older card, using even older stamps (click to see details):


The leaf image is from an old, OLD Hero Arts quad set. I don't have a name, but I'll list the stamp's item number down in the supply section. It might be difficult to see, but I used the rock and roll technique with the leaf image: ink your entire stamp with a lighter color, then tilt your stamp on to a darker ink pad and roll, inking just the outer edges of your image. In this case, I used three ink colors - yellow (center), orange, and then brown (outer edges). When doing this technique, I love to use chalk inks... they blend together really well, if you're wanting to avoid an obvious distinction between colors. You can go HERE to see another card using this technique. :)

Thanks for looking! See you tomorrow with a brand new card! ;)
