Ginkgo leaf card
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: parkes

 I crumpled a piece of white card and rubbed tea dye distress ink over it. Then I sprayed the inked card with water and let it run. I dried it with a heat gun then ironed it to smooth the card out. I stamped the script stamp using the same tea dye, and then the Ginkgo leaves in black, masking the first one. I used the tea dye ink pad to distress the edges of the card. The raffia was a bit too yellow so I ran the tea dye ink pad over it before tying it around the stamped panel.

Hi Stephanie,
Love this card! We used to have a ginko tree when I was a teenager.

You were the first person to send me a message when I introduced myself on the new member forum (just stumbled across your frog avatar when browsing galleries). I have a few more cards in my gallery now and did manage to get the signature thing working. I must update my avatar to something a little more inspiring one day.

Cheers from AU

I always wondered what a Ginko leaf looks like - TFS. Love the details you described about how you took a boring piece of white cardstock and turned it into something beautiful.
