Leaf Stamping?!?


Did you know you can stamp with leaves? Yeah, you totally can. You can do it any time of year, but I always have the urge to this time of year. 

 These cards were stamped with an actual leaf and white ink. Aren't they lovely? And now for a close up...
It's one of my favorite techniques, and oh yeah...it's FREE. Gotta love that!

Head on out to your yard or park and gather some leaves. It's a fun technique!
(Just make sure your leaves aren't dried out or they'll crumble)

    This will be fun to do with my kids! Of course, we only have pink ink (my little princess) so we'll have some girly cards! But the grandparents will love it! Thanks for posting this. Cute!
