' ' ' 'Crafty Endeavours: Autumnal trees

Thursday 8 September 2016

Autumnal trees

It's time for a new challenge at Crafty Individuals and the theme is CAS.
I chose a tree stamp (CI-429)for my cards and my new Kaleidacolour inkpad.

I tried 2 versions using the same stamp: first by inking the stamp with the multi-colour ink on glossy cardstock:

and the second by stamping in black over a brayered background:

The sentiments are from the CI-209 stamp set.

I'm not sure which version I prefer but let me know what your favourite is!
Thanks for coming by,
Also entering the SSS Monday, SSS Wednesday and That's Crafty challenges.

  5. I really like both of them. The first one is so beautifully clean and simple and the blending on the second one is fabulous. I periodically try to use my brayer but I end up throwing so much card away, so I tend to stick with my Ink Dusters. If I had to choose a favourite, mine would be the second as it is right up my street. Sandra X

  8. They're both lovely - the sunset on the second looks amazing, but it's the colourful stamping which really makes my heart sing - the trees look so stunning in that version.
