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 just made up a plaid using Yellow Ochre and Black watercolor paints.
I die cut the leaf out of a panel of watercolor paper that I had made a few weeks ago for the easy white clouds challenge.
I didn't like how it came out for the cloud challenge but thought it would be a nice background for today's card with the Cerulean Blue.(unusual for a leaf I know!)
I water colored the plaid on the leaf temporarily adhering it to my craft mat with Pixie Spray to hold it in place.
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 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 1st card is beside this one in my gallery.

Awesome leaf and beautiful work. Glad you saved your piece from the cloud challenge. I save as much as I can, too.

I REALLY LOVE how you did the background on this one! NICELY DONE TOO with the plaid leaf! SO CREATIVE & LOVE those small lines! (I usually cheat on those & do them with a pen!) LOL ;)<3
