Here is my card for the CAS challenge today. I knew when I saw this challenge that I wanted to stamp with a leaf. I had seen this done before on SCS with leaves from an evergreen so I knew it was possible. I headed out to the yard and gathered a collection of leaves. The best was a small oval leaf picked fresh off a shrub. I inked it up in various fall colors and didn't clean it off at all between colors, ending up with a beautiful fall display (I think!). Hope you like it too!

Incredible job. I forgot about using real leaves. Your card is gorgeous plus it really hits the nail on the head for being very close to the inspirational photo! Superb!

Fabulous! You made me remember doing "leaf stamping" with a stamp club I had going nearly 10 years ago! I have to get some leaves from the yard and do this again, because your card is gorgeous!

This is just lovely! I love how you used a real leaf to stamp with. It's a beautiful array of leaves! Love your layout too on the wood texture embossed bg.
