I love balance of the muted, almost neutral, colours in the Nature's Poem Designer Series Paper against the rich pop of colour. These colours were in the forefront of my mind and the Nature's Poem Designer Series Paper was the muse for these sweet thank you cards. This first one is in Mint Macaron and Cajun Craze, with a touch of silver...

These simply-designed cards were made even easier to create when I stamped the leaves with the Stamparatus. I began with adhering the clear-mount stamp to the top plate so it will stamp in the centre of my card. I inked the stamp, stamped it off then stamped it on my card. I then lifted the plate, moved it one notch to the left and stamped again, without reinking. The first leaf (on the right) is stamped on a piece of Whisper White card, die-cut out and added to the card front with a little metallic thread wound behind it.
I made around 20 of these cards and I love how evenly spaced all my leaves are and how uniform my completed set turned out.

I love my Stamparatus! It's a must-have tool for all stampers as it helps with perfectly aligning stamp images, you can stamp multiples of the same project quickly and precisely, and always get complete ink coverage.
