DCM - Starting from Scratch

This week it was Tracie's (Bondgirl) turn to set the dare ....For this weeks dare, I dare you to "start from scratch" I want to you design a card with NO purchased/pre-assembled embellishments - that means no blooms unless you cut them yourself, no buttons, brads etc etc. I guess how easy this is depends on your usual style.



At first I thought great as this is my usual style and then all the choices I had started to overwhelm me until I looked out the window and saw my flowering cherry tree losing it's leaves and then remembered a technique I have used in the past with leaf stamps.



Here it is:

I brayered white gloss card with a kaleidocolour ink pad after spraying the brayer with water. This is the background for the leaves and the shiny frame. The brown background card has leaves stamped on it with versamark watermark ink. Go and see the cards from the rest of the team here. They have created some amazing cards this week.
