Distress Stickled Leaves

Ahhhhh, week 10 of the Compendium of Curiosities Challenge from Studio L3, Distress Stickles, found on page 46. I struggled a little with what I wanted to do with this one and then I found some chipboard leaves and an old leaf earring and well........I was off to the races. I covered the leaves with some K&Company paper, then distress inked with peeled paint, forest moss, dried marigold and vintage photo, stamped the "make like a tree and leave" saying from CS Autumn Splendor kit and drew veins on with brown and green marker. Then it was time to stickle. The dark green leaf has Peeled Paint, lighter green leaf has Antique Linen and the orange leaf has Fired Brick stickles. And now I have a drawer for all my leaves. Cool, huh?
