Die cut the leaves around the edge of the dark green card base. Then applied a layer of Gesso, sponged on some gold metallic ink and then stamped the leaves in white.

A one-layer design with stencilled background using Distress Inks.  Then some clear heat-embossed pigment inks for the top and bottom strips.  And finally...a few micro beads.
