I'm back from vacation and catching up on challenges. This card covers both CAS challenges that I missed!
I put the oak leaf stamp into my MISTI and used three scraps of watercolour paper since I was planning on fussy cutting. I sprinkled green, brown, and orange Brushos randomly on the stamp, then spritzed with my mini mister (a regular mister gives way too much water for this type of stamp). I then stamped. I got a lovely mixture of the three colours, with some blending but not too much. I wiped off the stamp and repeated the process on the other two scraps of watercolour paper. I left them to air dry as I didn't want the heat tool blowing the wet Brushos around and causing more blending. Then fussy cut them.
I stamped my sentiment in brown on a piece of cs and die cut it with a Sizzix label die. As I was trying to decide on an arrangement of the leaves on it, I decided it looked too plain and boring so used the splatter and postmark stamps from the same set with a very pale ink - even with the pale ink, I stamped off each time on scrap paper so that I could get second generation stamping.
I then lightly sponged around the edge of the panel to give it some definition from the card base and popped it up on fun foam. Last of all I attached the leaves by gluing down the stems and upper bits of the leaves and popping up the majority of the leaf with foam tape.

Susan, this stamp set is one of my faves because of the versatile results such as yours. These leaves are beautiful. I love their placement on the label die cut with the subtle bg stamping
