Blowing Leaves, Direct to Paper

I made this card the same day that I made yesterday's card, also following one of La Zindorf's tutorials. This one uses zero brayering and is all direct to paper (using the corners and edges of the stamp pad to directly apply ink to the cardstock). While all the fall leaves are long gone by now, I still think the card kind of evokes a wintery feeling, so it is appropriate for a cold January day! I love how Michelle often uses the Baroque Motifs flourish to symbolize wind in her cards--she helps me think outside the box with my stamps. :)
