Hi bloggers,
I made this card from the left overs lying on my table... I have been cleaning up my table and organizing my papers of late and that has kind of deprived me of ideas.
"A creative mind is rarely tidy" - cannot recall the author. Sorry about that!
That is my excuse for my creative juices not flowing...Lol! A lot of you well organized souls may not agree, right?
Waffling again...!
This card has been made without much fanfare with dried leaves that I picked up on the road while I was walking in pretty, pretty Prague last summer... I just pressed them in a book and here they are now. I just love their shape!
I have used the following Jim Holtz ranger distress inks for the edges -
wild honey
peeled paint
walnut dye
For the darker effect on the edges, I have used rusty hinge.
The stamp that you can see is from Inkadinkado and I stamped it with peeled paint distress ink.
The sentiment is hand written with a calligraphy pen - it went a bit crooked but never mind.
Hope you like my card - I do because I have used natural embellies on it.
Hugs,
Monica

Oh so beautifull Monica with those leaves.
This is lovely! I love the natural element you've brought into the card! :) I love using leaves to decorate as well, and those are pretty leaves indeed!!
And speaking of calligraphy, that's something i still want to learn as well! :)
