Alcohol Inked Leaves

Hello, friends.

This card uses a Penny Black die that was in my NBUS box.

It was cut from a piece of photo paper inked with greens and blending solution.

(I used a felt pad and applicator to do the inking.)

The die cut frame was glued (very carefully with a fine tip)

to a stitched die cut rectangle then layered on another alcohol ink

piece done in the same colors.

On this card, I used some more of the same alcohol inked piece

as the previous leaves. 

I die cut these leaves with a Poppystamps die then used the negative as a

stencil to add some embossing paste to a background.

For added interest, I dry embossed a strip of white cardstock

to put behind my framed leaves.
