I have a trio of cards to share with you today using the Sketched Leaves Stamps. The first card is very traditional where I stamped the leaves in an all over pattern on my card base using Distress Archival Inks then watercolored them with Distress Inks. I added some simple splatter and sequins and cut the sentiment and popped it up with foam tape. 

For the second card, I kept it simple with a purple and gold theme. Everything from the Sketched Leaves set is stamped and embossed, then I splattered the card with a bit of Distress Foundry Wax in Glided. 

For my final card, I wanted it to have a more mixed media look. I stamped the background using the Tim Holtz Tidbits stamps, then stamped the Sketched Leaves over it in Hickory Smoke Distress Archival Ink. Then I stamped more leaves in color on top and embossed them using Distress Embossing Glaze. I stamped and embossed the sentiment onto a strip of vellum and stitched it to my card. 

Be sure to stop at all the stops on the hop and leave a comment for your chance to win!
