Make It Monday 60

I'm back this morning to share two cards I made for the PTI Make It Monday challenge at Capture the Moment.  I haven't played along with this challenge in ages. The technique for this week is generational stamping.  I've never heard that term, but it's something I do often.  Essentially you just stamp an image repeatedly without re-inking.

As I was looking through my PTI stamps, I thought this technique would work well with leaves so I used Out on a Limb and Out on a Limb Additions.  I sponged some blue ink on a piece of white cardstock before stamping the branches.  Then I used a single leaf from the additions set, inked in red brick, and stamped repeatedly along the branch before re-inking. 

For my second card, I chose to use a branch from Hero Arts delicate leaf clusters along with a PTI sentiment.  I masked a narrow strip near the bottom before stamping the branch repeatedly.  This card is more subtle than the first, as the second time stamping produced a very light image.  I peeled back the mask, stamped the sentiment, and scored a line along the top and bottom of the masked area.  I sponged a little ink around the edges and mounted it on PTI ripe avocado.
