No Time To Stamp?

A One Sheet Wonder.Paper, ink and nothing more on this set of cards — and I like them! It truly can’t get much more basic than this!!! I haven’t done a One Sheet Wonder in probably 6 - 8 years. I needed to make several thank you notes today and I wanted to use the leaf stamp from First Fruits by Papertrey Ink, so I just thought I’d try a One Sheet Wonder. Here’s the sheet I stamped — it’s a full 8.5 x 11, though it appears to be square, it isn’t.

See that leaf in the lower left with more yellowish tones? That was the first leaf I stamped. I determined I didn’t like that much yellow, so I changed course. But it’ll work into something just fine! To stamp these leaves I used a Spectrum Pad that was from SU, long since retired, called Late November. Love these colors in this pad. I pull it out every fall. I just started stamping in one corner and stamped across the diagonal, repeating my rows until done. It was so pretty I hated to cut into it!!! Here’s the cards I made with it:

Only 3 cards tonight. I’ll finish off the sheet tomorrow, so we can have Part II. Using this amount of the OSW on each card will give me 8 cards from the one full sheet. Not bad!!! And I must say, it was VERY relaxing to sit and stamp that repeated pattern, so much so that I think I may be doing more One Sheet Wonders in the future!!! I especially love stamping with the Spectrum pad — so fun!!! And another thing I love about this set of cards is that they are paper and ink ONLY, nothing more — nothing!!!! That doesn’t happen too often, but I am very pleased with these simple little cards. They were truly fun, and quick, to put together. Here’s a close-up of the oval sentiment, which was done using the Petite Oval Nestabilities by Spellbinders:

That leaf image is beautiful to begin with, but isn’t it just so gogeous done with the Spectrum pad? I love it!!! That’s it for tonight — more with my One Sheet Wonder tomorrow!!!
