  1. How do you get the leaves colored in lighter and then stamped looking like they are outlined? I really like the look! Sometimes I feel stamping my cards looks like something my Kindergarten Class would do!

    • Hi Jan,

      The stamped image looks that way because of the type of stamp it is. The Autumn Leaves Stamp Set is part of the “Distinktive” line.
      This is a Distinktive stamp set; it has a special texture that gives added depth and dimension in a single step, creating photo-realistic images.

      You can see the entire line here.

  2. This purple-themed blog hop was so much fun, Mary. Everyone made wonderful creative and very inspiring projects. Loved it! Enjoy your day!
