The card - to get the strip at the top I inked a clear block using three different green inkpads.  I just used the edge of the pad to apply ink directly to the block , sprayed it with a bit of water and then stamped it at the top of the panel.  After it dried I stamped the leaves directly over the top and then added a bit of grunge and the sentiment.  

A  totally free day today!  I'm hoping to be productive in the stamp room today! 

Have a wonderful day!
