Four cards made with the same stamp set and an increasing number of ink colours.
One
Two
Three
Four
The various shades of green and purple were achieved by stamping the leaves several times without re-inking.
These were the cards we made in class last week. A bright start to the year.
ETA It seems my first three cards fit the bill over at Daring Cardmakers this month. "Leaf it alone!" Making leaves the star of the show, rather than a foil to a floral design.

These are lovely Fiona and very effective. Makes me wish I was more artistic. Funny how a theme runs through one week. The patterns Helena has posted are like leaves too! What happened to your Christmas ornaments that you mentioned last week?
lovely creative use of one stamp to provide such a lovely variety of cards
Beautiful cards - you are SO creative Fiona. What a great Snap collection. You really do make me want to try stamping, although if I did I'm sure I could use as a Snap - 4 of a kind mess (lol).
gorgeous, as always!
How lovely! I always think of those colours as "Scottish" : just right for today then
I couldn't believe you didn't join WOYWW this week, but was simply delighted you stopped by. I am just now learning how to stamp, so I'll be visiting a lot, I'm sure. You stamp SO well! Those cards are wonderful, and I'm glad you reshared them here.
Every one of those cards is wonderful, and a perfect collection for SNAP.
As always your cards are beautiful! xx
beautiful cards. I love the leaf stamp.
Isn't it fun to see how many different looks you can create with one stamp set and a few inks? Hope the class went well :)
Beautiful. I'm going to try and make more cards this year!
Wow, what gorgeous cards, I love the leafy prints and the deep purple of the top one, it also looks great with the green. Very stylish and elegant - and I want to do some printing now!!
Thanks so much for stopping by earlier, I hope you have a great week,

love the cards. I'm going to try and make my cards in advance this year to stop the panic and actually enjoy making them!
Beautiful, Fiona! My first impression was that you printed the leaves instead of stamping them, you know with real leaves? It has that organic feel to it. Brilliant! Thanks for sending me the link!
Love how the color unifies them as well.

Beautiful cards - I love how they are all so different, lovely colours :)
They are all beautiful - and indeed fit the challenge perfectly! I like the clean and simple elegance of the first ones but also the sunny fourth. Thank you so much for sharing them with the Daring Cardmakers this week!
Lovely cards!
These are all gorgeous cards - just love the effect of the ink and those colours! Lush!
