Make Your Mark!

It's time for another Make Your Mark challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More!  This means get out your markers, crayons, colored pencils, pastels...any medium you can color with and get to work!  I also used the challenges at Hand Stamped Sentiments and Sketch Saturday for my card.
I started by making my own DSP for the background. I stamped my leaves in Black StazOn and then used my markers to color them in.  It was a little too clean for my liking so I colored on my Off the Grid stamp with Tangerine Tango and Garden Green a few times, and then added some Elegant Eggplant Splotches.  Much better! :)

I wanted the two leaves that I cut out to really pop so I added some Crystal Effects to them, let them dry, cut them out and popped them up on Dimensionals.

Stamp Sets: Gently Falling, Gorgeous Grunge, Off the Grid, Really Good Greetings
Cardstock: Elegant Eggplant, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White
Ink: Elegant Eggplant, Garden Green, Pumpkin Pie, Black StazOn
Tools: Needlepoint Border Embossing Folder
Accessories: Crystal Effects, Dimensionals

    I love your own DSP and think the addition of the grid is perfect-you have a really good eye for detail. And the glossy accents really do make these leaves pop x
