Hannah has us using leaves today for a very timely Ways to Use It challenge! I masked and sponged a square using various inks and then embossed the leaves in gold - the sentiment was embossed right onto the card but a big splodge of ink messed it up - so I had to redo and pop it up, but in the end, it made it stand out more. I finished off by adding my favorite gold cord and brads. I have to give credit to Heather T for inspiring me with her beautiful gallery of masking and sponging - you can see what I mean HERE

Those sponged colors combined with the gold embossed leaves are breathtakingly beautiful!

So beautiful Bridget. I love that background you created for this lovely card and gold embossing is one of my favorite looks. Perfect for these leaves.

There you go again B with another unbelievable stunner. Wow. I love that textured white dp with your exquisite colors sponged to make a gorgeous bg. Love the gold leaves and accents.
