For todays Water Color challenge Linda shared a video on making a watercolor plaid seen here:
I made two leaves today with different plaids - this one I tried to make look like Burberry Plaid.
I die cut the leaf out of a panel of watercolor paper and then water colored the plaid on the leaf temporarily adhering it to my craft mat with Pixie Spray to hold it in place.
I did a water color wash on the negative piece of the panel with the leaf cut out of it.
I layered the leaf to a piece of black fun foam. I adhered the background to a white card base and then adhered the leaf on the foam inside the cut out.
I splattered with watery white paint on both the leaf and the background.
I white embossed the sentiment on a black piece of card that I punched with the Word Window punch from SU.
My 2nd card is beside this one in my gallery.

A most beautiful leaf with the plaid watercoloring and I like the use of the fun foam. Wonderful splatters, too.
