I know I say it every week, but Stef you did it again. Awesome IC site! This week I have been hooked on trees, and leaves and fall type cards. This one is no exception. I was inspired by this one......details....
I have had this leaf stamp for quite some time. So glad I got to use it today....plus a few more. hehe On white cs, stamped my aspen leaf twice putting two colors on the stamp before putting it on the paper. Masked it.
Stamped the branch with leaves, then masked it. Added some color by sponging then taking a wet brush dabbing the sponged spots to give it a w/c look.
Sponged kraft white over the masked leaves then splattered vintage photo over top while talking to my sister, Connie Jo9, on the phone. I was on a roll with the multitasking or maybe the caffeine had kicked in. lol
Removed the masks, versa marked and clear ep using UTEE. VM again adding more UTEE, did it a third time. You should see my table, sheesh what a mess. Will be cleaning after I finish posting this.
Layered my image on black cs, then on the red and gold combo panel.
On a brown cs card, I stamped the MS leaf and branch using vm then white ep. Sponged the edges of everything with vintage photo.
Put my panel on my card added some mosaic tiles, done. Hope you like my take on the IC today.....TFL.....must go clean but will be back later!

Oooh what a beautiful stamp!!! AHA, I know it's a stamp. (lol) Nonetheless, very beautiful work, masking and embossing, gee, no wonder you didn't get your cleaning done. Mine is, so I can go back and make more. LOL
I kid you, but it took me almost all morning to get motivated. TFS your cards are always a treat for the eye and soul.
