Here is a close up of the Cornucopia. The Cornucopia is from Everyday Paper Dolls and the Giving title and apple are from Plantin Schoolbook. The leaves are those fabric-type pre glittered in a package decorations and the rest are die cuts I designed.

Here are a couple of close up shots of the leaves. I inked them with orange, red and green inks and then went over them with Dark brown and chestnut roan chalk ink. I then added Stickles for the veins. It really does look a lot prettier in person.
