I love to emboss anything! This was fun! Sorry for the fallish card, it just happened!
I used a 3D ef for the background and some Frantage. I think that was a bit of a mistake, it was too heavy and didn't stick well to the leaves but stuck too well to other parts. But I plugged on with it. Then I mixed crushed olive, weathered wood and vintage photo. Love the olive and weathered wood together.
The leaves on top were from making more backgrounds yesterday (refer to my FS card). I tried using stencils, I think my plate was too wet with all the sprays, gel medium and Pearls. So I cut out some leaves that were fairly decent and embossed them with another folder. I'll probably add a sentiment at the left of the leaves eventually. The colors are much more vibrant and deep, so cloudy today.

Cool look with the embossing on both your bg & focal point. Actually what you deemed "stuck too well to other areas" ends up looking like the shadows cast by those cut out leaves.

Your BG is so beautiful, leaves, too. AND I noticed your wood inlay table. Very similar to one that I have that my grandfather made. Sadly, he died when I was just a year old.

I'm thinking that I'll have to try with a 3D folder come the weekend when I have more time. I dismissed it as not likely to work, but it looks fantastic. Like old time-aged metal...
