*Whew* I didn't miss it!

Three hours left to spare for this week's CASology - I had my card made, and meant to come post it Saturday, but then I took a nap. And now it's today. So for my first 3 days of mulling over this challenge, I wanted to use a tree stamp. And I thought no, too many people are going to use trees. Checking it out now, I see not so many, but anyhow, I then gave myself the extra challenge to use a stamp I hadn't used in a long time. Enter this Hero Arts ginkgo leaf - it's huge, about 3" across, and I don't even remember the last time I used it.

Supplies: grid paper from Basic Grey "Origins;"
standard circle Nesties;
ginkgo leaf stamp from Hero Arts;
sentiment from Paper Smooches;
Versamark, Peeled Paint distress ink, clear EP;
green rhinestones

I hadn't planned to 'pop up' the leaf, but part of the border didn't stamp the first go-round, and rather than fiddle with it & hope to stamp again in the right spot, I just did it again & popped it up. I inked first with Versamark, then with Peeled Paint, so that I could emboss. The sentiment is stamped with just the Peeled Paint. 

Here's this week's cue card:

And here's hoping this will publish - our Internet connection has been super dodgy this morning. It's getting very frustrating being booted out of websites partway through doing things!
