Hello friends!!!
I am super excited to be part of The Ton Stamps Fall release blog hop!
The Ton Stamps design team (Ruby, Jess, Mayline) and a few guests (including me) are in the hop. Here is the order:
Virginia Lu -->you are here
In this release, there are so many unique and gorgeous sets. It was hard to pick just one set to create with. But the Leaf set "Autumn Foliage" really caught my eye!
My first card was inspired by a photo that I found in an old issue of Martha Stewart magazine. I first stamped the layers for the leaves on a piece of white card stock.
I guess you can say this is the "Faux Spotlight Technique". I love the rich and vibrant colors from the foliage.
My 2nd card is more rustic and has a lot of details.
With masking in the mid section, I loved stamping deep and dark colors on kraft card stock. It looked horrible at first. But with the white layered details (from white chalk ink), the details from the white inks really came through.
My 3rd card is a colorful one with the clear stamp set "Large Peony". Isn't it gorgeous?
I loved the sentiment is this set, too. To give this stamped design more interest, I added a folded strip of polka dot paper, sequins and gold Stickles.

gorgeous virginia...love them all...especially the first one. That's awesome spotlighting.
Your fall card looks just lovely with the white on it.
Wonderful cards, but the peony one is simply stunning!
These are wonderfully creative cards. I especially like the first one, where the colors are bright, however you left lots of white space to show them off. It is clear that all the bloggers are really loving the Dahlia stamps in there different formats. You Dahlia card is really beautiful.
