Turning a new leaf

This chippie is tough it takes all the paints and treatments we throw at it and we are all still finding out just what it will do and how we can make the most of it!   Needing a bookmark for another swap this tall leaf seemed perfect.   Plain chippie coloured with Viva Inca Gold and then over stamped and embossed on both side.

Adding a chain and shrink charms punching a hole in the stem with a hole punch was like cutting butter.   How can it be so tough, strong and resilient and yet so each to punch holes in?








The leaves come in packs of four.
