This was inspired by something in the Coldwater Creek Catalog. I stamped the leaves in Versa Mark, covered them with clear Ep, and heat embossed them. Then I stamped over them using a shadow stamp, again covered them with clear Ep, and heat embossed them a second time. I sponged over the entire thing, then used a hot iron and a piece of scrap computer paper to remove the embossing. Sounds like a lot of work, but it really went fairly quickly.

I love this card, but I feel very stupid that I am not following the steps very well......1) stamp a leaf on a so saffron square in versamark, pour on the ep and use the heat gun on it.
2. stamp over the leaf with a shadow stamp (or perhaps sponge it) with either the old olive or the more mustard?
3) you then say to pour ep on it again......what will that stick to? then heat it again
4) then sponge it again?
somehow that is just not working in my brain.....do I have it right?

Sorry! I omitted a step! I first inked the stamp with Versa Mark, then with Classic Ink before stamping the shadow stamp and pouring on the EP.
