Fall Leaves for CAS Watercolour Again

Hello Friends.
Did you ever have one of those days when you wish you'd left well enough alone?
Today is one of those days for me.
Some of you saw a similar post earlier.
When I got on the computer this morning, I saw comments for my
CAS Watercolour Post.
I had scheduled it for AM instead of PM!
Rats!

So I tried to fix it.
I should have just left it because I lost it and now I'm rewriting the post.
If you're confused, just know that I am more so!

It's a special month at CAS Watercolour
Wow this year has gone fast!

And we have Prizes

$25 Gift Certificate to Simon Says Stamp for Challenge Winner

Here's my card.


I used Loll's Tissue Paper Tutorial to watercolor, scrunch, glue and 
heat emboss with gold powder.

Here's a photo that shows more of the shine.


Now it's your turn.

I hope you'll watercolour some Fall Leaves and join us at

Congratulations...where did that year go? The leaf on your stunning card is fabulous. Love the extra gold around the edges. The dry embossed background adds beautiful texture and all finished off with the perfect sentiment x

Bonnie, your card is both GORGEOUS and very elegant with all the gold!!! The gold on the leaf really makes it stand out from the crowd and it matches beautifully with the gold sentiment, and the gold edges around the sentiment panel makes everything fit together perfectly for one fabulous card!!!!

Betty said...

two beautiful cards, Bonnie - i figured something like what you did had happened - but the little wait was no problem and i love your cards! and CONGRATS on the 1st anniversary!!

Bobby said...

The gold adds such an elegant touch to both leaf and sentiment, Bonnie. I have a sentiment stamp similar to that from a different company.

Bobby said...

I just went back and saw the beginning of the post, Bonnie. I had orginally read it in my email. I hate to add to the confusion but the link doesn't work from my email to your blog. I had to hit 'home'.

I'm so glad this post is showing up properly. I will be able to leave the bunker. Because you can not go indifferently next to this card. Your tissue and gold technique is perfect. This leaf looks stunning, Bonnie! I love colors and golden veins. A real autumn leaf, full of gold. Thank you for the great inspiration, Bonnie!
Hugs,
BozenA

Gorgeous tissue paper heat embossed leaf, Bonnie. Thank you for the 2nd photo showing the gold shine from your heat embossing. What a bummer that you had to repost your card, but sure glad you did. What a beauty. I Love your sentiment and dry embossed background too. Happy 1st Birthday hosting with Loll your awesome CAS Watercolour Challenge. I have loved being a part of the DT:-) Hugs...

Don't you hate when that happens? Anyway, love your stunning leave, Bonnie! So great on the embossed background!!

Marcia Hill said...

I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets confused...obviously I need a crash course in time zones, but all's good for both of us now!! Your card is absolutely STUNNING Bonnie! I absolutely LOVE your leaf...SOOO pretty! And I love that embossing folder too! I thought I had every embossing folder known to man, but obviously I don't! But anyway, lovely, lovely card my friend! And happy, happy birthday too...LOVE playing along with the CAS Watercolour challenges!! :0)

Beautiful leaf with the gold accents. Your card is stunning. Congrats on one year. Can't believe it's already been a year. Have a nice week.

I know what you're talking about scheduling something wrong and then having it become impossible to undo all that. I'm sure there's a way but no way would I know what it is.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your card. The leaf is stunning and looks so real. Gorgeous!

We all have days like that, Bonnie. Just means you were excited to start the birthday celebration a little early!! :) Sorry you had to re-write the post, sometimes blogger can be a pest!

LOVE this card. The warm colours of the ivory background, the dimension from the dry embossing, and that beautiful watercoloured leaf with the gold embossed creases ... gorgeous!! Happy 1st Birthday my sweet friend!! xx

This has to be the most beautiful card you have made! I love the colors, the shine and the lovely sentiment. The gold makes is really come alive. I'm so computer challenged so I feel your pain.

MaryH said...

Just pure elegance. I really love the tissue with the fall colors, and the gleam of the gold sets it off just perfectly. Hope I can soon try this technique. I bought some more white tissue (couldn't find mine!) Love your new photo pic of yourself too! TFS & Hugs

Congratulations to you and Loll for creating such a fun and stimulating challenge, and happy 1st birthday!
I love the tissue paper leaf. The gold heat-embossing is really beautiful and effective. The dry embossed panel echoes the main leaf. Hideko

This leaf is so gorgeous! (I am going to find Loll's tutorial and see if it's something I can try.) Your card is elegant.

AlisonC said...

What a fabulous leaf. I've yet to make anything worthwhile with that technique but now I'm inspired to try again. I also adore that leafy embossing.
