A Rainbow Twist on Eucalyptus!

Who says eucalyptus has to be green? Today, I'm sharing a vibrant and unexpected take on the beautiful Eucalyptus 4x6 Stamps. I stepped outside the traditional palette and gave each stem a burst of rainbow color - and I love how cheerful and fresh it turned out! Crisp white layers provide the perfect backdrop, letting those bold hues shine. I hope this project inspires you to look at your stamps in a whole new light!

This card is really quite easy to make, and I love how it packs a punch with simple colors! I stamped each of the stems from the Eucalyptus 4x6 Stamps twice with black ink and used the Eucalyptus Layering Stencils to quickly color them. Each stem has two layers to color, but I kept it simple and only used one ink pad for each stem. I went blended heavy color over the first layer and then didn't re-ink my brush and used the leftover ink with a lighter hand for the second layer. This gives me easy two-toned ink blended color.

I wanted to have some stems shadowed in the background, so I stamped a bunch on a piece of white cardstock with a gray ink and then added a sentiment in black so that it would stand out. I added the rainbow of stems to the bottom and popped each of them up with foam tape. I cut some layers of white cardstock using the Mixed Postage Rectangle Dies and added everything onto a gray card base. That's it!
