OCC Merry Making - non-holiday stamps

The cards I am showing here were inspired by May Park's creations for Day 3 of the Merry Making class. She used tone on tone stamping and non-holiday leaf stamps to dress up her Christmas cards.
I played around with the leaf image from the Stylized Autumn set by Papertrey Ink and this beautiful sentiment from the Festive cheer set by Penny Black.


For my first card, I used Ivory Centura Pearl cardstock from Crafter's Companion and Versafine sepia ink.


I'm linking up this card at:
CCAYR - Monochromatic browns

For my second card, I decided to stamp the leaves using Distress Oxide ink in Peeled paint.


I'm linking up this card at:

STAMPlorations - October theme and sketch (I went with the theme)


For my third card, I used green cardstock and heat embossed the sentiment in Platinum embossing powder.


I'm linking up my trio of cards in the following challenges:

Penny Black  - Holiday Headstart challenge


CHNC - #355 Anything Christmas goes (optional: stripes)

CHNC Extra - Always Anything Christmas goes

    These are so lovely and simple - never fails how embossing can raise a simple card to another level. These are fabulous!

    Het gebruikte ivoor pearl cardstock maakt deze kaarten extra chique, inderdaad zeer elegant, zo mooi door jou bedacht.
