I cut some overgrown Ivy and saved a few leaves to dry and the largest one I decided to use with distress inks and make a background.I then found a tiny leaf stamp from goodness knows where and stamped second generation so not too dark.
TH leaves die-cut from sprayed and splatter card and stamped the little mushrooms from Rubber Dance onto the same card and one on a snippet of P.paper found in the bin.
The stamped sentime was from IndigBlu looks a little lost but didn't want to stamp it onto separate card.
