STAMPlorations Stamp Release Day 1

Hello Crafty Friends!

Welcome to Day 1 of the new stamp release Blog Hop over at STAMPlorations. They are introducing a new set of Layering Stamps designed by Shirley under her label The Bee's Knees. Today my teamies and I are showcasing Layered Leaves, a set of solid and outline stamps in Shirley's loose and sloshed style. Here is my DT piece ...

When I first saw these stamps, I knew I had to somehow involve pigment powders. I dug out A Bit Jaded and Golden Sands Infusions Coloured Stains, sprinkled them on a piece of card, lightly spritzed with water and allowed them to dry.
I inked up the large solid leaf with Crushed Curry and a little Early Espresso around the edges, spritzed with water and stamped into place before stamping the smaller on in Cajun Craze and the outline in Early Espresso. I then added the smaller leaves and my embossed sentiment to finish.

Back to the hop, there are three sets in this release, and I had much fun playing with them. Here they are:
