The multi-colored background is made by applying inks to Stampin' Up! Acrylic Block I, spritzing this with water then stamping it onto Very Vanilla paper (you can use other papers too). Be sure and let the inks all soak in before lifting the block off. Let the paper dry but not curl. Then stamp onto it.
I stamped a leaf on Bermuda Bay cardstock, cut it out and added some more colors with Sponge Daubers to give it some variation. For the sentiment, I used the Bigz Autumn Accents Die, Crushed Curry and the Big Shot to cut out the leaf. I stamped on it with Rich Razzleberry, sponged ink on the edges then added a few speckles. I added this and the hand-cut leaf to the front with Dimensionals and Snail Adhesive then finished with a Rich Razzleberry button from the Regals Designer Buttons, double tied with Linen Thread. I was quite happy with the way this color combination turned out for the technique and leaves; what do you think?
