Ginkgo

I kinda went crazy with dies on this one.  I also took this gorgeous metallic bronze cardstock and decided that some tone-on-tone layering would be fun to do.  So I did.    

Trouble is, while some of this cardstock’s outstanding appeal does show in the upper right area, most of its textural, gleaming, hammered metal look is still stuck somewhere in the bowels of my camera.  Sorry, but you’ll just have to trust me on this one . . . it’s actually quite lovely in real life . . .
