After visiting Snazzy's on Monday with Kathy and seeing some gorgeous foliage cards we kind of set a challenge for each other to produce something similar. Kathy bought the fabby set which just looking at, didn't do it justice, but here is the set and fabby card she made here.
After looking through my stash I didn't really have any foliage to stamp around the outside so ended up using ' A Little Bit Sketchy' by Sheena Douglas. The main stamp is Stamp 08 by Kanban - can't find the name sorry! Di's used were tattered rose, victorian velvet,milled lavender and spun sugar. Sentiment is Craftwork Cards but I think there is a problem with the 'h'. May not be using that again!
I used the post it method which Kathy used but did get some ink overspill..I think I need bigger post it's.
Hope your Thursday is going well!

Debs it looks great - and you've risen splendidly to the challenge matey! Thanks for the link back to my blog too.
I bought some C5 post its in Florida - must buy some more next trip as they are great for this technique.
Hope you'll be using this technique again since you seem to have cracked it!
As to the issue with the stamp ..... if you had ink over the area which didn't stamp properly you could try two things .... 1) next time place something like a foam pad beneath the card, to "cushion" the stamping or 2) lightly abrade the surface (VERY gently) with a fine grade sandpaper (like an emery board) as it's sometimes a silicon seal on the stamp.
GOOD LUCK - hope it works
