My friend Trina is Guest Designing at
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
