Inkydinkydo leaf stamp
Tonic die cut circle
Peel off sentiment
Green ink from crafty stash

To create the leaf design I used the Inkydinkydo cog and wheel set. Its the first time I have tried this and I must say I was quite impressed so you will probably see a lot more of this style from me!!! I stamped the first leaf after inking, then stamped the next one without adding more ink to give a faded look. I did this all the way around.
