I started by making this card:
I have these very old stamps from Hero Arts. It's one of the first sets I bought years and years ago. I took them off the wood block a long time ago and made them into cling stamps (There were 3 leaves and one acorn on the wood mounted stamp. I don't remember the name of it. I am sorry.)
I started with the Maple leaf and from top to bottom I inked Pumpkin Pie, Butter Bar, Soft Apricot, Just Rust and Red Royal. I know it's a lot of colors for one little stamp but they came out so pretty. I inked them all similarly, cut them out and then stamped the acorns in Latte Chalk ink and Cup O' Joe mid-tone ink. The wreath of leaves is inked in the Forever Green mid-tone.
The inks blend beautifully and this next card shows that.
This card uses Butter Bar (mid-tone ink), Soft Apricot (shadow ink) and Just Rust. I applied it with a Foam tool the same way you would apply Distress inks. It worked beautifully. I also stamped over it with Versamark and used some Inference Green Perfect Pearls on it. I am in the midst of getting my Boo Baskets ready to Boo my neighbors and I thought these tags would be so fun to add to them. The sentiment on this card come from Darcie.
Lastly, I have a very simple card that uses Hero Hues but in a different way. I used a Hero Hues Note card in Mandarin and then I inked up the tweed background stamp in Just Rust. I die cut the ghost tag using a Hero Arts digital shape, available in the Silhouette store.
I really love the way the Just Rust compliments the Mandarin note card. It's the perfect marriage. I put some Vellum behind my ghost, added a sentiment, some stickers to spell Boo and a bow. This one will go into a Boo basket too.
I hope you got a better look at these magnificent colors. They are just superb in every way.
