This week's FFA challenge is brought to us by Shirley (wannabcre8tive). Shirley is asking for Fall themed cards and I decided to go with leaves. I wanted to do this card after seeing k dunbrook use this technique here: IC770, Ways to Live by k dunbrook at Splitcoaststampers
Outside, I grabbed a leaf off an Oak Leaf Hydrangea, swiped Distress Ink on the vein side of the leaf and pressed to my cardstock. Let dry. I added a little more color using same inks to make it a little darker in spots. Then, added some sponging over stencils and empty areas to fill in the rest of the card. Sentiment was stamped. Fun!!!

Your beautiful leaf looks quite realistic, Brenda! Well, I know it is a real one, but your colors make it come to life! Love the patterns in the bg too~
