Back from holidays and back to my commitment to use un-inked stamps for the USEIT2015 challenge. I'm using IO stamps for July - and I must have done better than I thought with using backgrounders because this appears to be the only one I've never yet inked.
I sponged some white card with Antique Linen and then stamped the leaves with Olympia Green. I coloured them with pencils, and stamped an extra one with black on a scrap of white card. The spare one, I fussy-cut and embossed with two coats of clear EP. On the main layer, I stamped Linen in Tea Dye, and the water splash with Stormy Sky. The edges were sponged with Chipped Sapphire, and then after stamping and embossing the sentiment and wrapping the gold cord around, I added it to a base sponged with some dark brown and Chipped Sapphire. Added a gold cord bow, and popped the embossed leaf up on foam tape.

Your leaves are gorgeous the way you colored them, and the sponging adds so much texture to the card. Especially love the embossed leaf, it looks so rich. TFS
