LIM Week 84: One Layer Foliage

Hello friends!  I'm here today with a card I made for the Less Is More Week 84 "One Layer" Challenge in which the the focus is FOLIAGE.

I also might add that this is my 200th blog post!  I haven't been at this for too long, not even two years, so I'm excited to reach that milestone!  Thank you to all my loyal followers and to my occasional visitors...I appreciate all of you and have really enjoyed the "blogging" experience!

My card is a one-layer cream card with only two stamps.  First I stamped the (retired) Inkadinkado "Every Leaf" quote by Emily Bronte using Walnut Stain Distress Ink.  Next, I inked up the Rubber Stampede "Liquid Amber" leaf stamp using various distress inks (including Tea Dye, Wild Honey and Spiced Marmalade) and spritzed it with water before stamping.

After stamping, I spritzed the entire card front with Heirloom Gold Perfect Pearls Mist for a little shine...see it here?

OK, on to another topic.  I'm sure many of you know of Kathy Racoosin and her wonderful blog, The Daily Marker, right?  Well, Kathy is the special guest today at Simon Says Stamp! STAMPtember events and she gives a lesson on Copic coloring.  (She is amazing at that, let me tell ya!)    Be sure to hop on over to Kathy's blog for a SPECIAL discount code that you'll only find there...also, she's giving out free stamps and a set of Spellbinders dies to make your own creations. Check it out!! 

Thanks for stopping by...have a great week!
