The leaf was cut from a scrap piece of Yupo and the colours were Stream, Lettuce and Citrus.
I used the left over from the base card for the embossed wood panel and the frame. I cut the inset of the frame with a nestie and stamped the sentiment in Lucky Limeade ink.
The 3 buttons were from my stash as I thought that rather than use sparklies, if I used buttons this could be a 'man' card!
Quite happy with this, although on reflection I perhaps should have used a die which had broader leaves so that more of the colours of the alco inks could be seen.
Might try this again!

This is very effective and a great use for some alcohol-inked card.

Beautiful card Viv and I like the leaf as it is - a delicate fern-like leaf such as you'd find when out hiking.

I love everything about this card. The delicate fern leaf is great and goes well with the embossing. Thanks for joining the Hiding In My Craft Room embossing challenge this week. Beth DT
Love this neutral and natural look. Decorative leaf and like the effect of the framed in embossed part too.
It's lovely. Might try to CASE that concept, I like the embossing behind a frame.
Sorry Viv but I now have you down as an alcoholic. This card is amazing, the cream and green look stunning.

Fabulously different. Love the leaf and that frame.xx{aNNie}
Your fern leaf does show all the beautiful colours of the alcohol inks, Viv. Love the design with the woodgrain inset panel and frame. And the cream colour is softer than white ... so perfect with the green. Love your button accents. xx
This really is a beautiful card Viv. I love the design and the fern looks gorgeous cut out from alcohol inking. Barbxx

This is fabulous Viv and the Yupo piece you have cut the fern leaf from looks great against that cream, and the wood panel at the back suits it perfectly. A great idea to use the buttons, and the colour of these and the sentiment tone in beautifully. x
Love this beautiful card! That fern leave die is beautiful-love the colors you used on it, the wood grain paper in the background is awesome showing through that elegant cut out window! Hugs, Brenda
Lovely card. . .
The alcohol inks worked really well, and the fern has lovely texture and shading. A great card. Lynn x
