Another Maple Leaf


My friend Trina is Guest Designing at


The background is a piece of smooshed watercolor from my stash.
I partially stamped lightly with a background stamp that has
names of trees and lightly stamped a few splats.

The die cut leaf was cut from watercolor paper, and painted with liquid
watercolor and re-inker to get a good saturated color.

There's still a few hours to join in at CAS Watercolour
with your watercolor maple leaves.
Challenge closes at midnight tonight PDT.


Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

Another very pretty maple leaf Bonnie and love the smooshed background with the extra bits of stamping detail, and your sentiment stamped in black looks lovely and crisp against the light background. I was away earlier in the month and have consequently been extra short of time, and with my present commitments I have not been able to get an entry in for this third birthday challenge, in fact I haven't managed any of the CAS challenges this month which saddens me, but my best wishes go to you for all the hard work you, Loll and the ladies put in to the challenges, and for all the great inspiration you give us. x

Looks awesome! The maple leaf really suits the challenge colours and I love the combo with the green strip. Thanks for playing at AAA Birthday, hope to see you come back to join in with future challenges too.

Wow Bonnie! Those colours are making my heart sing! Love the smooshed background and I've made a note of that Lawn Fawn die - that's the one for me! Vicky x

The leaf looks like it is so fresh and just now fell from the tree. Really pretty background too.

The green panel reminds us of summer, but the falling leaf takes us into autumn. A unique card.
