Stampin' Up! Love of Leaves

 I have a monochromatic fall card to share with you today.

 I used the Love of Leaves Bundle on page 49 in the Holiday Catalog.

 

The stamp set it a disinktive stamp.

This means that it has some natural shadowing of light & dark spots in the stamps.
There is a lot of detail in this leaf.

And I am just in love with the stitching in these Stitched Leaves Dies.

How did I do this leaf?

1. Stamped the leaf onto Whisper White card stock, using Smoky Slate ink.
2. Die cut & embossed the leaf with the 2 separate dies, that I could do all at one time.  
3. Cut out the outside leaf image from the center of a 3x3" Smoky Slate square.
4. Emboss this square using the Wrapped in Texture Embossing Folder.
5. Adhere layers.
6. Pop up leave into the center of the Smoky Slate square, using dimensionals.
