Today's challenge is to grab something new we have not used yet (F4A24, and for me that is the Words of Gratitude dies from Penny Black. Had them for about a month and am so glad to use them finally.
Embossed the panel for the card front, used the rock 'n roll technique on the french foliage leaf stamps (stamp in one color, rock the edges in another color), and added a little sponging with sahara sand. Fussy cut one leaf and punched leafy branches for some added embellishments on the frame, which is popped up with dimensionals. Also added stickles for sparkle. Linking also to:
