This is my 3rd try for WT495. The others are ok and I will use them, but this was the best because of the color I think. The first one was done with real leaves that I picked off a bush when walking the dog. The second was like this one only done on white watercolor CS. I think WHITE is not a fall color. Anyway this looks much better to me.
I really messed up an ink pad trying to get multi-colored leaves, but finally figured it out. I sponged off the edges and ink them in the second color
This is one of my favorite leaf stamps and fall colors are the BEST. tfl

Lovely leaves, Carol. And what a smart idea to wipe off the edges before using a second colour. I do think that rock and roll is the perfect technique for autumn leaves but I don't like messing up my inkpads. I'll have to remember your idea! And while I'm glad to hear that your white watercolour panel won't go to waste, I think the leaves look lovely against the off-white background. I knew this challenge would suit you , I want to send you my IC card from last week because it made me think of you, while I was making it.

Fabulous Carol! Imagine is just perfect for this design! Love the colors you used on the leaves and the wonderful, random stamping of them! Sorry about your ink pad. Hopefully you can save it!
