Rustic Artistic Leaves

I saw this gorgeous fall card by Mary Deatherage. It's just stunning in person! It uses the Woven Textures DSP from the Online Store along with the awesome Artistic Leaves also in the Online Store. Again, this neat stamp is a 2-step stamp that lends itself to some gorgeous shading and use of 2 coordinating colors, this time in "traditional" fall colors.

Measurements:

Timid Tiger (N): 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE
Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4" (inside) 5/8" x 3 1/4" (sentiment), scraps
Pecan Pie: 4" x 5 1/4"
Woven Textures DSP (OE): 3 pcs 1 1/4" x 5 1/8" (basket weave), 3" square (linen) (circle)

To Make This Card:

Adhere the 3 pieces of DSP to the Pecan Pie layer. There is only about a 1/16" edge.
Then, adhere to folded Timid Tiger card base.
Die cut largest circle from Stylish Shapes Dies in Linen DSP. Add some "splatter" in Timid Tiger ink. Adhere to front of card over DSP strips.
Stamp largest part of "leaf" in Timid Tiger ink. Then stamp the "shading" in Cajun Craze.
Stamp 3 accent "leaves" first in Mossy Meadow. Then, add the "shading" in Granny Apple Green.
Sadly, these will have to be "fussy cut" as there are no dies.
Take piece of Timid Tiger Faux Linen Ribbon and "zig-zag" onto DSP circle, as shown.
Add larger "leaf" with Dimensionals over ribbon, then tuck other "leaves" underneath and adhere.
Take 2 pieces of Linen Thread and tie in a bow. Glue to larger "leaf" base with a Mini Glue Dot.
Stamp sentiment in Pecan Pie onto strip of White. Add to card front, over Linen Bow
Finish front with scattered Pressed Flower Motifs.
For the inside, stamp the larger leaf as for the front down in the lower, right corner.
