Rustic Leaves

This simple design uses deep and multi embossing techniquesas the focal points of the card.   Two stampboard tiles are inked with clear ink (versamark) and two or three layers of UTEE are melted onto the tiles.  Then two or three coloured embossing powders are added in the final layer, and an inked leaf image is stamped into the molten mixture.  The UTEE has developed a few holes here and there but that just adds to the rustic effect.  The tiles are mounted onto pieces of handmade paper with frayed edges, then attached to the base card.  A few paper punched leaves are added for embellishment.
