Here is my card for today's 365 Cards Challenge: "Leaf" it up to me! This challenge requires that you use at least ONE leaf (real or image) on your card. I chose to do a few leaves:
I stamped my center leaf image in black and then embossed it clear. Then I used my second leaf image in Vintage Cream and sprayed it with water before stamping. I realize this technique works better with colors and watercolor paper, but I wanted to see what would happen. Then I wiped my black leaves clean to bring it out a bit. I used some silver ink for the sentiment frame and embossed it, the sentiment and the little dragon fly. (I wanted to squeeze in a hint of Tuesday's Challenge: Miss You Sentiment)
Here is a close up of the leather cord and button. And that is all she wrote! Hope you are having a swell Thursday. I am constantly surprised at how fast the weeks go by. Soon the weekend will be here and I will be running a 5k! EEK! Wish me luck, cause baby I am gonna need it!Thanks for stopping by today!

I LOVE LOVE the leather cord! That is too cool! Also, this card would be a wonderful sympathy card. Great job!!
What a beautiful elegant card Kristie. I will have to try that technique. I have plenty of watercolour paper having done a watercolour course years ago.
