Thanks for Everything Gentle Leaves

Hello, welcome, and happy Sunday!  I hope your weekend has been great so far!

I made this card with a few challenges in mind and to build up my stash of thank you cards.

Here's how I made this card.  Actually I started out by die cutting the leaves die from Poppy Stamps (Gentle Leaf Collage) to use as a stencil and was inking through this cut stencil with Aged Mahogany and Evergreen Bough Distress Inks, when I realized I liked the look of the stencil piece I had been inking better than the piece underneath it I was trying to stencil.  So I cut the inked up stencil piece into a rectangle and put black paper behind it.  I splattered the panel and the leftover pieces of the panel with water and cut the inside Thanks die (Scripty Thanks from SSS) and the outline with black.  I put them together and placed them all using the sketch from the challenge below.  To finish it off I added black enamel dots.

Here's a closer look:

Thanks so much for stopping by!
