Birthday Leaves

Every time I see these leaves, I think feathers. I just have to keep telling myself that they are actually leaves! :) I used ivory cardstock for this card. I used a die to cut the leaves. To back the leaves, I used a piece of used foil. The foil was used originally for another card, which I haven't finished yet. (I'm actually not sure if I will use it or not.) It was used to foil an embossed image, so there were fine lines gone from it. I thought by using it under the die-cut, you would see where the foil was missing and it looked like veins in the leaves. I'm sorry you can't see it better in the picture. The first picture looks like there is gold in the foil, but that is just a lighting issue.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!
