Instructions:

• Cut a template from a piece of scrap paper of the two size leaves from the Aspen Tree Dies.
• Using this template and blending brushes, blend the inks through the leaves, overlapping as you go until you are happy with the coverage.
• Using some fresh water, flick some droplets over the background.  Mix some Pebbled Path ink with a little water and flick some droplets over the background and repeat with the Craft White Ink.  Set aside to dry.
• Stamp the sentiment on to the Very Vanilla strip.
• Die cut three small leaves and using the blending brushes, add ink to the leaves.
• Glue the leaf background to the Pebbled Path layer and glue to the card front.
• Glue the sentiment strip to the Pebbled Path strip and attach to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• Add a length of Linen Thread to the right hand of the sentiment and add the leaves using glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals.
