TLC398 Falling Leaves

Photo Details

Poster: Cook22

For Joan's TLC challenge today to add some dimension. I tried to do it with sponging and masking. I'm a long way from happy with this and I think it will end up as a card base for something else - but I believe in recording my less successful cards too!
A2 base.
Stampers Anonymous leaves inked with various distress inks and stamped, with masking. Then I sponged round them to varying degrees with Old Paper and Antique Linen.
Verse from ODBD stamped with Versafine Sepia.
