This is for today's LSC191 (to use leaves and at least a touch of pink) and Sharon's Stamp Simply challenge to make a flat card.
I just got this set (a retired SU! set) and had to play with it for today's leafy challenge. I colored the image with Prisma Pencils and blended with Gamsol.
The leaves are cut with a Martha Stewart Punch, and to give them definition, I put them on a light box and used the tiny end of my stylus and drew in the veins. I then sponged a variety of TH distress inks on the edges and lightly over the veins. I mounted my image and leaves on an exchange RAK from Peggy (Marilyn Prestonn)... Sanded. I sponged that as well with TH Antique Linen. The only thing not totally flat on this is the pheasant, which I stamped twice and popped up on dimensionals.... I think it's still pretty flat. I resisted the urge to build in more elevation for the leaves to meet the qualifications.
It's late at night, but thanks to anyone who looks!

Fabulous card!! The image is so beautifully colored and I love the pheasant! Those leaves really do look great - great job with the embossing and coloring! TFS
