For this card I used the thumping technique with markers. I colored the trunk with chocolate chip, and the leave with more mustard. Than I thumped the leaf area with really rust, old olive and creamy caramel makers. The layers are all distressed, I used the canvas background on the old olive panel, and direct to paper in the mustard. The background of the tree is stippled in really rust.
**edit** For those of you who have not heard of thumping this is something that I learned at this last SU convention. In one of the classes, she had a list of 20 things you can do with your markers, and Thumping was one of them. Thumping is where you take a detailed stamp set. Ink it up in a neutral colored base coat (in this case I did more mustard) then thump (or bounce) the maker over that image area randomly which makes little marks and gives the effect you see on this card.
