Hi! I made this card for today's featured stamper challenge: Sallie! I have long been a fan of her gallery and have many images of hers in my favorites. She is a wonderful, artistic stamper and able to create cards in many different styles and using many different techniques. Congratulations, Sallie!!
I based my card on many in her gallery, but if I have to chose just one for my inspiration piece, I choose this one: IC216 Echo Poppies by hobbydujour at Splitcoaststampers
I, too, used some of ColorBox's pigment inks. Otherwise, I think you can see that my card is very different!
First, I used VM and several different but compatible colors from ColorBox to swipe onto my various leaf stamps. I heat embossed using Kaleidacolor ep. Then swiped inks over all. Added spritz to my base card, and did some edge distressing on various panels. Added fiber and charm, and the card was finished.
TFL and have an artistic day!

What a gorgeous leaf collage artwork you have created, Gail! Your colors are scrumptious...yet soft. TFS how you did this.....something I would like to try...I'll be CASEing YOUR card! : ) That fiber on the side is a perfect addition, as is the little golden leaf brad. Thanks so much for making my day special by creating this beautiful card! Sallie
