Elegant Leaves

I chose to make a couple of cards using a variety of colours with one stamp and a sentiment.
 
 
The first is Potting Soil Archival for stamping and Peeled Paint ink for water colouring. I heat set the Potting soil to make sure it was set and wouldn't run.
 
 
For the second I stamped the leaf with Vermillion Archival Ink and water coloured with a variety of Fired Brick and Mustard Seed Distress Inks.
 
 
This card was made using the Potting Soil and Mustard Seed inks.
I love the shape of these leaves and they make great backgrounds. I've had great fun using them and there's five more fantastic stamps in this set.
Thanks for visiting

These are delightful - I love the way you've shown the different variations by altering the colours & sentiments used with basically the same layout. The matting adds such lovely cohesion & contrast (if that's not a contradiction of terms). I particularly like the red one but that could be my penchant for the sentiment's font! The watercolouring is a super touch really adding individuality to each design.

PS - I think I've decided that the brown one is my favourite after all!
