For today's TLC challenge I made a stencil using a small leaf punch and then sponged distress inks to make it look as if the tree had lost some of its leaves. The HYCCT challenge involved using leaves so the two challenges fit together perfectly!

I wish all the trees that drop leaves into my pools looked as pretty as this one. hehe Love how you sponged it with fall colors adding the falling leaves. Fabulous card! TFS :0)

This is beautiful, Polly! I have that tree die cut and some leaf dies and I almost did something like this. Now that I see your fall beauty, I may just have to, lol.

I love this. Fall cards are my favorite and I've had an idea floating around in my head similar to this but just couldn't translate it to paper. Obvious you speak "designer." Wonderful.

I love that the falling leaves are similar colors to the tree (did that make sense?) and that sentiment is great! ( will have to look for one sometime)
