Red Castle Stamps - More Leaves No. 4 by Nancy Sheads

Welcome back to The Queen's Inkling!

I'm back today with another project using the Leaves No. 4 stamp sheet by Red Castle Stamps. This time, I colored the image with Copic markers and paired the image with a sentiment from Penny Black.

Since the image was larger in scale, I created this card in 5x7 format. As with my previous Red Castle Stamp project, I used the new Tim Holtz Stamping Platform to stamp the image on X-Press It Blending Card with Memento ink. Since the stamps are unmounted, I set up the stamping plate as if I were using a clear stamp and adhered the stamp to the plate with a low-tack double-sided tape.

Don't forget - these Red Castle stamp sheets are only available at The Queen's Ink and when they're gone, they're gone! You don't want to miss out on a quality stamping product.
