For Lee's "Snowy Leaves" challenge: make some frosty, snowy leaves.
I have so many macro photos (photography is my other obsession) of frosted leaves! I'm that crazy neighbor you'd watch from the warmth of your home, crouched down taking photos of strange things in the freezing cold from every angle...sometimes in my robe. HAHAHA! Anyhoo, I'm pleased with my handmade frosted leaf. I coated a piece of card stock with torn bits of masking tape then colored it all with three shades of distress ink. Hand cut my leaf and made some dimensional folds then used crystal effects to built up the frosty glitter. Attached it to the panel with super thick foam tape. I used clear embossing powder for the sentiment and accented with hemp cord. Thanks for looking!

Wowsers! That leaf is amazing! I can feel the crispiness of it from here! I really like the warm neutral colours you used and the addition texture from the twine and the embossed sentiment. Love it!

Gasp! Thud! I'm ok! This is unbelievably amazing, and I LOVE, love, love how your frosted leaf came out. The addition of the hemp cord really defines the rustic look of this fantastic card! Thanks for sharing your technique, I will try this someday.
I, too, love to do macro photography, and I have some frosted leaf photos "lost" on a hard drive that died with a laptop, waiting to be rescued someday.
