I absolutely love the COLORFUL SEASONS BUNDLE….but I found myself just thinking FALL CARDS when I looked at the leaves. Here in Michigan right now it is so green, so I decided to make a SUMMER CARD using the leaves. I did a very quick & easy watercolor on the leaves. Check out my video showing how to watercolor, along with a few other stamping tips!
I am also going to try to make more videos!!! PLEASE LEAVE ME A COMMENT IF YOU LIKE VIDEOS WITH CARD TIPS!!! My focus is STAMPING MADE SIMPLE! Card making should be simple and that is what I love to share with you!

Now, back to the card:
- Crumb Cake Card Base: 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″
- Basic Black: 5 1/8″ x 3 7/8″
- Whisper White: 5″ x 3 3/4″
- Basic Black: 1″ x 5″ (trim to size after punching and stamping)
- Garden Green scrap for leaf
- Linen Thread
- Inside: Whisper White: 5 1/4″ x 4″
- Video shows how to do the simple watercoloring
- Stamp larger leaves first. After stamping each one, simply go over to color in with an AquaPainter
- Don’t worry about staying in lines or filling in perfectly–you want a “watercolor look”
- Fill in with small solid leaves. Use AquaPainter to go around edges
- Gently add “speckles” using Black pad and stamp from Timeless Textures–BE GENTLE!!! You don’t want too dark!
- Not sure how to EMBOSS THE WORDS–CLICK HERE for my video showing how!
Don’t forget the inside!
