Like the look of the leaf in the picture highlighted on the right? That technique is called the Fan Brush Re-inker technique. This is how you achieve it.
1. Pick out a stamp set to use. I used D1379 Flourished Blessings Stamp Set. (My new favorite).
2. Choose one or two reinkers. I used Chocolate and Autumn Terracotta.
3. Squeeze a few drops out on the the paint tray from your distressing kit.
4. Take the fan brush from the distressing kit and load it with re-inker. Do not wet your brush. You want your brush to be somewhat dry.
5. Paint the re-inker on to your stamp and then stamp the image on the paper.
6. Magic- you now have a beautiful stamped image with a unique pattern.
Here is my finished card-

What a beautiful card. I haven't even tried this technique yet. I need to now!
That is a really neat technique. Really like the way your leaf turned out - it looks so much more natural than just inking with a single color of ink.
Thanks for sharing this technique! I agree that the fan brushing makes the leaf & card look VERY earthy and natural.
Very Elegant. Love it!
