I've been showing lots of holiday cards, but I realized that I only have a few days left to focus on Fall and Thanksgiving! Whoa! How did that happen? Well, I'm gonna sneak a couple leaf cards in under the wire…

I know you're not going to believe this, but I made a one-layer card! ME! ONE.FLIPPIN.LAYER. It's an amazing feat, I know, but I am truly happy with the results of these two cool cards featuring the gorgeous French Foliage stamp set!

I started by clear block stamping with my "H" Clear Block! That's right! Ink that block right up in some More Mustard Classic Ink, then lightly mist the block with water using a Spritzer Bottle, and stamp onto the Very Vanilla Card stock. The new Firm-Foam Ink Pads work great for this technique!

TIP: When stamping onto your card stock, if you press firmly and wait for a couple seconds for the ink to soak into the paper, you'll get a better block shape.

Then, I simply stamped each of three French Foliage leaves in different colors: Midnight Muse, Old Olive, and Raspberry Ripple. I like that they're not the traditional colors…it's a fresh, clean look!

My second card is done the same way, but I added in some additional background images to give it more of a collage look.

The water droplet image was inked in Old Olive, then stamped off once before randomly stamping over the card.

I also added the French script inked in More Mustard, and also stamped off once before applying randomly. And, if you click to enlarge, you may be able to see some of the pretty Champagne Mist Shimmer spray that I spritzed over the entire card—so pretty!.

The "Thank You" is from the Lacy & Lovely stamp set inked in Midnight Muse to match the card base.
