Birthday Foliage

It's starting to feel like Fall here in Michigan, so this card using French Foliage seemed appropriate to share today.
I inked the largest Clear Mount Block (F) in Crumb Cake and "stamped" my Very Vanilla card stock to create the background for my leaves. The leaf images were inked using the Rock 'n Roll technique...ink stamp using the lightest color and then "rock" and "roll" the stamp in a darker color catching just the edges.

Stamps: French Foliage, Happiest Birthday Wishes (Hostess Set), Weathered Background (retired)
Card stock: Crumb Cake, Always Artichoke, Cajun Craze, Soft Suede & Very Vanilla
Ink: Always Artichoke, Cajun Craze & Soft Suede
Accessories: Decorative Label Punch, Soft Suede Polka Dotted Grosgrain (retired), Antique Brad
