The challenge is to create a card using real leaves and they worked for my background.
MelodyÂ’s Instruction from her challenge:
1. Press your leaf onto your ink pad, cover with scrap paper and press into ink to ink up your leaf.
2. Place your inked leaf on your card stock, cover with scrap paper and press with fingers or brayer over it to stamp your leaf image.
3. Incorporate your leaf inkpression in a card.
You must use at least one leaf inkpression in your card design.
Ribbon is taped to the back of the panel.
Image panel is colored with re inkers and artist brush and raised with foam squares.
This was one of my first techniques in card making before I got stamps. Thanks for the challenge Melody!

I love the Sun Ripened sets and need to get them out more often. This is just gorgeous, love the ribbons, the Linen background, and of course, your coloring is exceptional. -- Dee
Sometimes I think it was more fun to make card where you had to really use your noggin to fill the space rather than reach for a stamp or manufactured embellishment--gotta say it's a lot faster now but not as creative as your card--beautiful job, Rox!
