Leaf Mesh Card by Betty McCommon

Large Maple Leaf stamp by PSX

Assorted leaf stamps (Company Unknown)

Directions:

Crumble white cardstock and rub brown Distress ink on creases, spritz with water and iron. Then stamp leaf in green distress ink on white distressed cardstock, spritz and iron again. Tear a panel to fit tan base card.

Wipe the panel of distressed cardstock with a little anti-static bag. Place a square of Magic Mesh on this sticky side to the cardstock. Next I took my VersaMark pad and inked the mesh on the cardstock (trying to be careful to just ink the mesh and not the CS), a light rub is all you need. Sprinkle green embossing powder on the mesh, shake and brush off all you can from the CS. Heat to melt.

Stamp Maple leaf in Ivy ink on a scrap of cardstock and cut out. Then cut a piece of green CS and attach to folded edge of card. Assemble as shown, adding the Cut out leaf on the mesh and the beaded trim at the bottom.

Collage Mesh by Betty McCommon

Stamps from Time to Stamp

Directions:

On cream Card Stock (CS) randomly stamp the column in black ink, but don't reink after each stamp. Set aside.

Rub VersaMark pad over the green CS, then brush Pearl Ex on and rub off extra. Randomly stamp sayings, picture and the column as shown.

Next I cut a piece of tan Magic Mesh (save the pieces you cut off) and put on the corner of the green CS. Stamp the column on the Magic Mesh and green CS.

Mount to cream card base.

Next I colored directly on the stamp with my Water color crayons and lightly spritzed with water. Let the colors blend a few seconds then stamp on water color paper 3 times without adding more color. Heat with your heat gun till dry.

Gently rub distress ink on flowers to age the paper.

Apply clear drying glue to bottom of flowers and pour assorted beads on. Let dry and glue to green collaged piece.
