SINGLE LEAF

Another card for A Blog Named Hero's monthly challenge - "one layer".  To give my card dimension, texture and interest, I used both dry and wet embossing with one focal point and a varied background.


The leaf stamp is a HA wood block which is no longer available - but any large stamp could be used for a focal point.  The leaf is stamped in versamark and then embossed in a mix of copper and gold powder.  The background was sponged with DO inks (wild honey, fossilized amber, spiced marmalade and vintage photo) and then spattered with water. I used two of the HA infinity rectangle dies to dry emboss the frame, added some Nuvo gold drops and done!

Other than fiddling around to get my two rectangle dies perfectly aligned, this was a quick card to make.   So put on your thinking caps and make a fantastic one layer card for our challenge - there's still time so enter here and be eligible for a great prize!

Thanks for dropping by today and love to read your kind comments.
