and
Using one of the maples leaves from a tree in our front yard I started with a white card stock base card.
Next I sponged Distress Oxide black soot ink over the back of the leaf (this allows the veins to show) and laid it in the corner rubbing the leaf with my fingers.
Once it was dry I used a sentiment stamp from Unity Stamp Company’s “...girl truly” set with StazOn jet black ink.
I really love the sentiments from Unity.
Very neat technique. I have popped leaves through my diecutting machine, but never inked them,must try, it's perfect for this Sympathy card. Thank you for playing at AAA Cards
