I sponged pigment inks over my cardstock then randomly overstamped the leaf in frost white. I covered the entire piece with clear embossing powder & heat set. Stamped my saying in warm red (usually I would emboss it but oops - I used up all my clear EP on the bg tapestry) After doing a torn edge around the saying I dragged the azurite ink pad over the edges for definition - mounted on gold mesh ( so the tapestry still showed as much as possible) Stamped the leaf in green, fussy cut and adhered with Alene's tacky glue.

Eek! Sorry about the fails, Linda; I hope you can upcycle them. I think I did, the first time I tried this way back. I'm glad you persevered because the result is just beautiful.... why didn't I think of a fern stamp? I know what you mean about the EP, by the time I had done my samples and the experimental one one glossy card I was refilling my little "current" jar from the big 8oz Ranger one. Always nice to start with fresh clean EP. I don't know what the secret to keeping them uncontaminated is; O certainly don't have it even though I use a fresh sheet from old phone directories to work on each time I emboss I still end up with cross-contamination.
