Autumn Leaves with Water Soluble Oil Pastels (Stamptember Blog Hop) + GIVEAWAY!

Yesterday was the beginning of Stamptember at Simon Says Stamp. What does that mean? Lots of new stamps and dies! I had the joy of designing some of the new products, too.

Here are all the products I designed…

Which is your favorite? :) You can see the entire release HERE.

For today’s video, I played with the Leaves Background stamp and the Best Hugs stamp set.

I used Prima Water Soluble Oil Pastels on the background to create autumn colorful leaves. Then I stamped the large “hugs” greeting over the top using Avery Elle Truffle pigment ink.

To add a gold edge, I applied VersaMark ink to the edges of the watercolor paper and then applied WOW Rich Pale Gold embossing powder. It give it’s a subtle finishing touch.
