Another good idea gone wrong!!!
I found one my leaf stamps and decided to create a background  and stamped it with Hero Arts Gold embossing powder and cut the panel out with Spellbinders Romantic Rectangles - good so far. I backed the whole and used the image with Neenah Kraft cardstock. I stamped some gold extra leaves and cut them out with Memory Box Tender Leaves to add them as a carpet for 'Contented Mudpie' to sit on and the 'Jumping for Joy' little mouse to bounce on. I add a ribbon and a few beads and charm.
This is where everthing went wrong - photographing it  - the ribbon is  a Kraft colour - it looks orangy and the charm look silver whilst it is goldish!!  I photo'd it several time but eventually surrendered!!
Materials and Tools:   
Cardstock:   Simon Says Stamp Dark Chocolage, Neenah Kraft cardstock  
Dies:  Spellbinders Romantic Rectangles,  Memory Box Tender Leaves
Miscellaneous:   Ribbon - stash, beads, charms
Tools:   Martha Stewart Scoring Board,  Tonic Studio Guillotine/Paper TrimmerPro Arts Glue Glider,  Fiskars - Stamp Press

Awesome color work.

Too bad you couldn't get the photo you wanted, but this is gorgeous!
