I'm away from home and don't have any bleach with me, so I used Kris's bleached color selection of cruched curry and dusty durango. To try and get a faux bleached look I inked the leaf with versamark and curry, stamped it on confetti cream, embossed with clear ep, then used the aquapainter and durango to color around the embossing. The leaf is cut out with a swivel knife and mounted with foam tape on the torn durango layer. The card base is curry, wheeled with the Rough Around the Edges wheel and the quote is from a Paper Co. Studio autumn harvest set.

OMG Sue, your faux bleached leaf is just gorgeous. Love the simplicity of your card as it really makes your leaf the focal point. Great color combo too. TFS
