This is my card for TLC292 - a little late, but here. I didn't think this would be as exciting as it turned out to be. Thanks, Joan. I loved it.
I cut a piece of tan tissue and since I could see through it I decided to see if I could stamp under it. It worked. I stamped Old French Writing on the base and attached the sprayed and dried tissue on top. I let the ripped edge show to add character. Fits my personality.
Then I stamped my Pretzel City Paper leaf in two colors of CTMH ink and stamped off. The leaf brad is from a wedding invitation just about this time last year and I thought it would make a great anniversary card, so I punched out a computer generated sentiment and added some embroidery thread. I like it.

Your card is a real winner!!! You did a fabulous job with this technique. I like how you used a larger piece of tissue paper and didn't put too much on it!! Great job!!

This is so soft and pretty! I like it too! Wonderful touch to use the saved brad from their invitation of a year ago! So are you saying you are a little rough around the edges? LOL! Into my favs BTW!

Very nice. I love the transparent tissue and the French Script under it. The colors are perfect for fall the floss on the side adds some more great texture. TFS. Bev

Carol, I love this beautiful creation. It looks like an old letter that was dropped in the street and it picked absorbed the shape and color of the fallen leaves. Excellent work on this.
