This card was created for this fortnight's Leaves challenge at Chalk-Ah-Lot CAfe. The TH Tattered Leaves die was used to create a stencil through which Buzz N Magic paint from Stamp N Plus was pounced. While each section was still wet, SNP powdered chalks were pounced to create shimmery fall colours. Once dry, the leaves and veins were outlined with black pen. The white negative spaces were stamped with the SNP mountain ash stamp and TH splatter dots. A simple ribbon, tag, and threaded button complete this card. I love fall colours!

Oh boy, was what I thought when I saw your STUNNING color treatment on your leaves! I love, love, LOVE the colors of fall leaves (yesterday was blessed to go on a wonderful country ride to enjoy our fall leaves here in Ontario yesterday with friends and to a rural festival, and saw some of the best leaves ever), and your chalk treatment is absolutely AMAZING, Bonnie!!!
The way you've combined vibrant colors SO well, is really STUNNING!!! I have struggled to get them to blend in the past, but you've inspired me to pull them out again. That alone is a great achievement on your part! Your card just lept out from the gallery. I'm totally impressed!

Sorry, I also should have mentioned your wonderful framing of the dotted lines around both your tiny tag, and as a layer of your extended frame--I love the texture and as well how well it serves to bring all of the various textures together. The embossing folders you've used are genius, they ADD to the texture without overwhelming the other stream-lined details!
What a totally STUNNING card, Bonnie--I just keep staring at your leaves and keep getting lost in their beauty! Just wonderful!!!
Congratulations again (sorry for the lengthy comments, I DO get carried away when I'm absolutely gob-smacked! Never even used that term before!) WOW!!!
