Bizzy Bec's March Challenge

Hello Peeps

I have made a card for this monthly challenge at Bizzy Bec's, which is usually "Anything Goes"!

While laying on my couch last week I got a parcel from Bizzy Bec's place, with my latest order and in it were two stencils from Taylored Expressions. I had just seen the Exotic Leaves being used on Pinterest somewhere, and had been intrigued by the way it was used - so I stole the idea (or C'ased it).

Unfortunately I cannot find it again and so cannot attribute the original artist. If it is you please let me know. I used it because I could continue to lay on the couch and with minimum effort make this card with the stash I had available on the side table!

I used the following items: 

Taylored Expressions Stencil - Exotic Leaves

Tim Holtz Inks - three greens

Sponges

Scraps from my working desk

SU card - Poppy Parade and poppy die cut

Sentiment from SU

Can you see the complete leaf on the top right side?

Once I had created the background on Whisper White card, using all three inks, 

starting with the lightest and randomly sponging through the stencil, 

I repeated this using just one ink - the brightest green - on just that one leaf (twice).

Then I fussy cut out the two leaves. 

The circle was scrap

The sparkly square was a leftover from another project last year

The red flowers were from a pack of die cuts from SU

I just layered them up with dimensionals as it suited me.
