From the title of this challenge, I thought maybe this was a Watergate challenge. It's all on tape, unless it's been erased, of course.
In typical Jean fashion, I jumped into this technique without thinking it through. I'd recommend thinking about how wide your card it and how much do you want the different colors of inks to cover the card. I didn't and had some white space on the right that I didn't like. Otherwise, this technique is very cool and right up my alley.
I used these DOx inks in order: old paper, bundled sage, peeled paint, cracked pistachio, lucky clover, forest moss. You can barely see the old paper at the top because I added it last. Again, too much white space. I used masking tape but I think painters tape would be better. I was worried about pulling paper up after burnishing. All in all, I really like this card.
Did I plan to make this a leaf card? Oh no, are you kidding? I hadn't used these leaf dies yet so gave them a whirl. I also cut two leaves and then trimmed around them for embellishment from a textured background I had (the technique with baking soda and tea granules). I used two washi tapes and a small greeting.

This is fantastic. Love your woodsy washi tape on the right. All of your leaf areas look great. The tea ones-wow! and the negative strip one is really cool looking.
