Hi everyone, here is my Inspiration Destination DT make for 24 December 2014 (yah, Santa will be here soon ha ha).  I used Gnome digi image by Robyns Fetish which you can find here http://robynsfetish.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=203

Inkydinkydo leaf stamp
Tonic die cut circle
Peel off sentiment
Green ink from crafty stash

To create the leaf design I used the Inkydinkydo cog and wheel set. Its the first time I have tried this and I must say I was quite impressed so you will probably see a lot more of this style from me!!! I stamped the first leaf after inking, then stamped the next one without adding more ink to give a faded look. I did this all the way around.
