HYCCT1420 = smooshed smash. I used a craft sheet, TH Distress inks and a water mister for my bg. I did it twice...first time lightly, then stamped my bg text and leaf veins. Clear embossed the leaves and then did a repeat of my first step with inks and water, only making it darker this time. At the end, I came back in with my sponge dauber and ink pads to darken around the leaves for definition.
TLC504 = "Hanging out" (out of the box) technique.

I love the out of the box technique!! Leaves will go where they will go, and this reminds me of reality. Your colors are so soft and pretty too Sallie!! magnificent job on all of these challenges.
Wow, I really love how the two techniques you used created such a beautiful card. Very well done.

Beautiful card, Sallie! I love the way you added some light color, embossed the leaves then added another layer of color! The out of the box technique always adds such interest!
