I color embossed the background by rubbing my Close to Cocoa classic pad across the Finial Press Texturz plate and running through a piece of Always Artichoke, The oak leaves were watercolored and cut out from Lovely as a tree and layered across a piece of Riding Hood Red taffeta ribbon.

Wow, this is so beautiful. I love the look of the inked texture embossing. The leaves are gorgeous - must have taken forever to cut them all out, but it was well worth it. It's a work of art!
