 This week over at The House that Stamps Built our challenge is photo inspiration:



and here is my "creation" for this inspiration.

Simple card - and I tried a new technique that I saw by Gina K - in which she embossed a leaf from nature.  I found a nice oak leaf from our yard (we have a LOT of oak trees) and using versamark on the leaf and then embossing in cooper I think it turned out pretty nice.  For my sentiment I used 415-H It is not how much 

 Now it is your turn to make a card or project using the challenge of Photo Inspiration So many possibilities on this challenge.  You have a full month to enter our challenge.  You do not have to use Repeat Impressions stamps  but if you do will have two chances to win a $25 gift certificate towards stamps.  

If you look on my right side bar I also have a discounted coupon for you to use when you go shopping at Repeat Impressions.
Now why not take a look at our DT Rock Stars for inspiration

    I saw that video tutorial on Gina K's website, too. I thought it was an intriguing idea to heat-emboss with a real leaf. I LOVE how yours turned out. I think it looks even better than Gina K's!

    Wowza! that leaf is wonderful and so big! Love that it's really from nature. I'm going to have to try this technique - but I'll have to hunt for a leaf - no tree's in my yard are big enough yet. LOL.

    Your leaf has turned out beautifully Shirley and I bet it really shimmers in real life too. How true is that sentiment! Vicky x
