Here's another card we made at Stamp Club this month. I showed the Sponge & Shimmer technique that I came up with a while ago. You can see a tutorial I wrote about it on Gingersnap Creations.
We brayered So Saffron ink onto a Very Vanilla panel, sponged on a variety of coordinating inks, then painted the whole piece with a thin coat of the new SU Shimmer paint (love that stuff!). Once the panel was dry, we stamped it with leaves from Autumn Splendor.
Here's another card I made using the same technique. Silhouette stamps work particularly well with this background.
If you've got any questions, please leave a comment and I'll get back to you.
Thanks for visiting my blog!
