hi there,
Here is my card for 2 of the challenges today; Mix-A Leaf and F4A- Labour Day.
I painted my leaves with acrylic paint using a brayer. When dry, I stamped the sentiment, clear heat embossed it and then added the lines using an old gift card and my Distress inks. I splattered with my Posca paint pen.
In years past, Labour Day meant a long wknd and a road trip with my inlaws to see my husband's Nana. She lived Collingwood Ontario and the views are so scenic and wonderful. The leaves were starting to change as the nights became crisp and colder which was so beautiful.
Thanks for looking.

This is just stunning Karen. Love, love, love the leaves and the vibrant colors. And the sentiment. And, most of all, I adore you story of visiting Ontario. You make your memories look vibrant and alive. Beautiful
