Apple art



I love multi layered cards. They look great, and they are just fun to make. Six different stamps were used on this card. The apples were stamped in black and then colored. The other stamps were randomly stamped using a variety of soft colors all over the card. To get an extra soft effect, "off stamping' was used as well. This is where you ink up a stamp and then stamp it first on a piece of scrap paper and then onto your card. Dry chalks were applied to the paper to give it color and texture, and more color was applied to the corners by stamping ink on with a sponge. I took extra parts of the paper and cut them in pieces to add in strips. It's more time consuming to do a card this way but definately worth the effort.
