When I saw the limited challenge was to make a leaf or leaves the focal point, I immediately went to my favorite leaf image from the retired Botanicals set. I embossed it in copper EP on Certainly Celery and popped it w/dimensionals. This is a CASE from the SU catalog in 2003-2004. I stamped the row of BG leaves in celery first, then sponged some tangerine ink directly on the stamp. Yes, there is some pink (a pin stripe of Pink Pirouette is beside the DP). Kinda cringed when I added pink but knew I had to add it somewhere. :-) Edges were sponged with Chocolate Chip ink. TFL!
