There was a thread started a while back about {is stamping art?} I replied and talked about my artist brother who disagrees, I however think stamping is art. Anyway, this card is for him and his wife. I used leaves from my yard and a mum and a mum branch from my flower bed. I tried to keep the stamping to a minimum as accents rather than the focal point. I really hope he likes this, because it was really hard attaching all of that moist foliage. the flower was a real trick,but I must say that I am pleased with the solution. I will have to try it more in the future! I'll quit rambling....

This is absolutely gorgeous. I love every element of this card but my favorite is the mum buds sticking out of the pocket. By the way........Your brother is dead wrong!!!!!!!!!! Stamping gives us all the opportunity to create art. ISn't it just wonderful.

This most certainly IS a work of art! And just how DID you attach the moist foliage? It's gorgeous! I really love collage work- I think it takes a lot of talent and creativity to pull it off well, you sure did! TFS!
