I have only used one little guy out of this stamp set so it was high time to use another one, this time holding a mushroom.
There is a challenge over at Can you handle the pressure using leaves, I think this is my favorite Leaf embossing folder and it was one I bought early on.
- Cuttlebug - Leafy Branch Embossing folder w/Lunar Paste- Slippery when wet
- Inkadinkado - Garden Gnome stamp, colored w/markers
- The Greetery - Wood Slices die
- Corrugated Cardboard off packaging w/inking
- Honbay - Sentiment stamp
- Gemini - Torn edge circle die
I added some lunar paste to the embossing by placing dabs of the paste on my mat and running a brayer through to pick it up and apply to the embossing. I still had some that hit the background but seems to be the easiest way to apply it for me, I did have to wash my brayer with soap and water afterwards to get the paste off.

It gives such a nice shine and unlike some products I use the shine stays well after drying.
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,
Connie

This is so cute! I love how you made the leaves shiny. I also have this embossing folder and love to use it too. I like the tree slice die behind the gnome.
He is very cute and I love the embossing folder with the gold brayered on, beautiful.
luv CHRISSYxx
Oh my goodness - the sweetness of this adorable guy! Of course I'm partial to all things fairy or gnome. It turned out SO cute!
Beautiful card and excellent colors love this and a great design. Does the lunar paste stick a lot to the brayer or is it easy to remove? xx
Love the gold leafy background, so pretty and perfect for a fall or woodsy scene! That gnome is soooooo cute!
He is adorable! The background is gorgeous, Connie!

Stinkn cute. I love your gnome and your gold technique adds alot of interest.
So cute! xoxo
So darn cute and a beautiful leafy background as well! Love that wood slice. You've made me think about the Luna paste, but I haven't taken the plunge yet. Beautifully done, Connie!
Beautiful background and I love the little gnome too. The wood slice was the perfect finishing touch.
What an amazing background. The gold on those leaves is incredible and that image is a terrific image to pair with that gorgeous leafy base. I learned last weekend that my nephew's girlfriend is studying mushrooms and now I am hunting through my collection for some fun cards for her.
i don't understand how you did it but you made this card so magical. the technique you used for the background goes way beyond anything i know how to do!! it's really adorable connie, my favorite so far!!!
He looks so cute.
I like the embossing too.
All the best Jan
Beautiful card dear friend.
