The background and top card are ALL done with a smash-up of oxide ink and regular distress inks.
what I did to get the leaves to look like "authentic" fallen leaves was to blend several colors of oxides onto a piece of watercolor paper and then spritz with water. Give these oxides a try you will be addicted too.
