I stamped the leaf on water color paper and used a technique I learned from one of the SC Tutorials for watercoloring. Using a water brush and distress inks, I painted the leaf and then blew it dry; after it was dry, I smooshed embossing ink on the image and then applied several layers of Utee clear so the leaf has a very glossy look. The smaller leaves are punched from a cereal box using a Creative Memories punch and then the same glossing technique. Found a chipboard frame in my stash and painted it; applied some left over twin for the veins on the main leaf. Easy and it's recycled!
