Cascading Leaves

Fall is such a beautiful time of year with the pretty colored leaves falling and that is what inspired this card.




I started by sponging some Deco Foil Transfer Gel onto the cascading leaves and onto the larger maple leaf, then running it through my laminator with some foil that was various shades of copper, gold and some silver.   Watercolored the larger maple leaf with Inktense watercolor pencils.  Used some Distress Inks to watercolor around the foiled cascading leaves, but it didn't show up very well against the kraft background and the leaves were totally lost.  Pulled out some Distress inks in browns and sponged on the color until the leaves popped.  This card includes:  foiling, stamping, sponging and watercoloring.

Thanks for stopping by!

This is so beautiful, Sue! I love the watercolored big maple leaf pops against the dark brown background! The foiled cascading leaves have movement and the perfect backdrop of the big leaf. Thank you so much for sharing this beauty at CAS Mix Up!
