...and here is the inside:
...and the sketch:
I used a wood grain embossing folder for the main panel and went around the edges lightly with Walnut Stain DI. The leaves are die cut from paper I made using various Distress Inks. See?
How fun it was to do this! And since I made my own inky paper I'm linking this up to the Moxie Fab World Color Media challenge. The sentiment was stamped, cut out and the edges inked before being adhered with foam squares. Masked the inside sentiment from two different sets, added another die cut leaf and I was done.
So what are you waiting for? There's still time to play along in both challenges. (MFW's challenge ends tomorrow. Just sayin'.) Thanks for stopping by!
