This is for WT225 - to use corrugated cardboard somewhere on your card. I made the leaf embellishment a few years ago when I was teaching classes at a local stamp store. Basically you ink up a piece of corrugated cardboard with pigment ink, sprinkle with UTEE and heat. You do this several times getting a nice thick layer of UTEE and while it's still hot, you ink up a stamp with pigment ink and press it into the molten UTEE. It ends up looking like stone and I think very pretty!
The leaf stamp is from Fred Mullet and the scripture stamp is Clear Dollar Stamps

Wow, that's fabulous. How interesting is that technique and the finished piece gives such a sense of flair to your card. Comforting sentiment, too. So lovely.
