FM232 Sketchy Vintage Leaves

For this week's Friday Mashup, we are creating with a sketch and leaves (my favorite!).

I love this week's sketch, and yet somehow my card morphed into a tag-type layout.  I'll have to revisit the sketch down the road.

Have you ever thought your patterned paper is too bright?  Me too!  You can tone it down with a sponged layer of Craft Whisper White ink or gesso.  Similarly, I wanted an off-white background to the woodgrain patterned paper from Into the Woods, so I sponged with Tip Top Taupe ink. *Note: the new archival ink stamps nicely on top of a gesso layer.
