My leaves are a happy experiment...I first stamped some maple leaves in red like the letter set but my red is cardinal red, didn't work...trying to work out the colors I wanted without buying anything....I started with ivory cs, sprayed a light coat of glimmermist in coffee shop all over, then a coat of sunflower around the outer edges, then a light coat of candy apple red in the center of page...when dry, stamped my leaves so that had varigated colors, then cut out....IRL they are so wonderfully shimmery...then just stamped lightly some leaves for underlayer. the stippled effect around edges, I got with a cut steel wool pad dipped in paint...can't remember whose blog I got that tip from but thx whoever you are...
TFL at my crazy creations...

Great card. Love the way the leaves turned out - they look awesome. I'm going to have to remember about the steel wool, I like the effect it gives. Lots of attention to detail on your card, well done on the challenge.

You did an awesome job on this - the stamped bg images set off the cut out images and the glimmer mist and mixed colors just make the whole thing gorgeous! You deserve an A+!
