This is my card for today's F4A challenge to pay it forward. It is for a friend that I've mentioned here before, who made me an incredible gift of all her stamps when she decided to move on to another hobby. I'm not sure she's in need of a lift...but ANY excuse to send her a card, using one of the stamps she gave me!!
The base of my card is SU Always Artichoke, the next layer is Bazzil Pear embossed with a Darice embossing folder. The top layer is done with a technique I've been playing around with and I'm just loving. I laid down several shades of green coloured pencil, some watercolor, some not, then blended them together using a blending stump and GooGone.
Then I stamped three Ginko leaves....the third one is embossed in gold and cut out.
TFL!
