This is my card for alpha challenge round 10 letter O, for which I die cut some oak leaves. The leaves are cut from kraft card stock, crumpled, then mostly flattened, inked with vintage photo and spritzed lightly with water. Once dry, I added ruby red and elegant eggplant inks. Both sides of the leaves were inked the same. Then I coated the leaves with matte mod podge. They become very realistic looking and are flexible enough to shape, which I really love. I mounted them using dimensional foam tape.
