I entered the Fresh Living challenge over at The Shabby Tea Room, where we were to be inspired by a photo of fresh greenery from the garden. I thought the foliage stamp from Le Jardin Botanique worked well, and I stamped it four times around an oval. The lighting in my photo does not show how delicate and fine this card really is. Just couldn't get my lighting to cooperate.

It looks wonderfully delicate on my screen! I love it - great idea to stamp the leaves the way you did. Beautiful work!
