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.

I grew up a thousand miles from grandparents, so only saw them in the summer and at Christmas. Never at Thanksgiving. When I got older, we lived next door to my favorite Gram, and can still smell the turkey cooking. Still no over the river! Your colored leaves are just gorgeous, and so creative!
