Stamping 411 Sketch and Pals Paper Arts

I made this card for the current 411 sketch using the new French Foliage Stamp set. I tried something I have always wanted to do which was to place all the leaves on one big clear block and ink them up with my sponge daubers in all different colours and then stamped once and then stamped twice...that is how I made the background paper for this card.  I love simple sketches.  You should head over to the Stamping 411 site to see the beautiful cards made by the design team. They really went all out this week!!!  I am also going to enter this into the Pals Paper Arts Challenge for a Fall Themed card.  I already have one card entered but I thought I would share another.

The ribbon is a piece that came from a gift I received.  It worked perfectly with the layout.

Have a great week.  I hope everyone gets the chance to stamp!
