Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I'm here with Just Us Girls again.
I am really enjoying guesting with this team!
This week we have a photo to be inspired by.
The leaves are beginning to show some color here. I haven't seen anything as bright
as the leaves on this card yet. Hopefully we will see some bright colors soon.
I used my favorite background trick and watercolored my die cut leaves on a
piece of Neenah letting the color run off,
When the leaves were dry, I used watercolor pencils to add some details, then
glued on the background leaving some of the leaves loose for dimension.
Adding the die cut sentiment in dark red accented the leaves beautifully, IMO.
I hope you'll hop on over to Just Us Girls and see what they've come up with.
Then come join in at the challenge.

What a perfect take on the inspiration photo! Love the technique of letting the watercolour run off the die cut to make the background. I must try that.
WOW...Stunning die cut Fall leaves with your cool ink background from your leaves...love how you use that technique..I need to do that too:-) TFS and always inspiring me, my dear friend. Love and enjoy the Fall color...we are too:-) Nancy
WOW! Those leaves are AMAZING, my friend. They look real with the texture and detail. Great work. And I love the soft leafy background from your watercolouring. A beautiful and stunning fall card Bonnie! xx
Those leaves are absolutely gorgeous! Your background is so soft and beautiful, love the idea of this process and will definitely be giving it a try. Beautiful card.
I may have to share a photo of our Flowering Crab next to our porch, Bonnie - you've nailed it on your card today!
Nobody does that technique as beautifully as you do, my friend! What a gorgeous card!
Hope you have some wonderful Autumn color soon!

So very Beautiful, love the leaves and background. x
Bonnie... great technique, am going to give that a try! Love the card and I hope you get to see some beautiful color soon. Now that I live in Florida, I miss the leaves changing but not the cold weather. So thrilled to have you as a guestie!
Your leaves are just stunning! I love this beautiful card 🤩
We're still a little too warm here for the changing of colors on the leaves but I do love looking at your card and seeing them. Beautiful card Bonnie.

Clever background idea! Your leaves are gorgeous and you are right about the red sentiment adding so much to the card!!! Amazing card Bonnie!
Why do I never try that trick? It always looks so fabulous when you do it, Bonnie, and it gives dimension to the card just like leaving leaves unglued does. And the color is beautiful.
Stunning leafy branch, Bonnie - perfect in those fall colors!!
Stunning! This card is perfect in so many ways, the colors, the dimension, the simple twine and bold sentiment -- wow
Such fabulous bright and very realistic looking leaves Bonnie, and the background is beautiful with colour from your leaves, and finished beautifully with the twine and the large die cut sentiment. x
Oooh - love these colours! Such a great trick too - thank you for always inspiring me Bonnie! Vicky x
This is fabulous, what a great take on the photo xx
So glad you're having fun, Bonnie! I'm enjoying all of your guest cards. I mean, just look at this beauty! What a great technique, I need to try that!
This is gorgeous, Bonnie! Your leaves are just beautiful. I was really hoping to get away to see some fall foliage but things got in the way. Maybe next year. We had some cooler temps this week, but I think it will be short lived and back to 86 next week.
A stunning card Bonnie - love your use of the inspiration photo, and the deep coloured stems and sentiment are the perfect foil for the airy leaves.
Blessings
