Today's challenge took me to this necklace: http://www.etsy.com/listing/77893020...tmasinjuly-cij It was a very nice place to visit! I had decided to make this card using green and cherry cs, but it just wasn't working out. I inked the leaves in green, stamped them off, then sponged on orange before stamping on cs. (I got that technique from Wanda.) I also cut out, popped up, & sponged the edges of the single leave. I used my spritzer tool with orange, added twine and the sentiment using markers. Thanks for the great inspiration today, Stef! Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend! ~Roberta

Oh - I found a lovely leafy necklace too and that's what I was expecting to see when I clicked on your link - I missed yours! Lovely card - I really like the torn edges with the leaves.

Roberta, what a gorgeous mix of rich color! The worn edges and bit of twine are beautiful additions.
