To make this card, I cut several leaves from watercolor paper with leaf die from A Jillian Vance Design. I sponged on a variety of dye inks (all listed above). I added water with a waterbrush to "activate" the dye inks into watercolors. I added some shading and various additional colors to the leaves with Tombow markers and a waterbrush.
I stamped the sentiment from A Jillian Vance Design with Distress Ink Walnut Stain onto a card panel of watercolor paper. I scored two lines near the bottom, and adhered my leaves. I used a corner rounder punch on the bottom two corners.
Inspired by CAS350...over the river and through the woods to Grandmother's House we go. I think about traveling in November for big meals with family. The leaves are often on the ground, but the color is still there.
