Welcome! Fall temperatures have arrived and we've turned on the heat. I would enjoy a few more days of 70 degree weather. I made this card with thoughts of falling leaves. I used an older Maple Leaf stamp from GKD A Year of Leaves that I stamped on water color paper with Versamark Ink and heat embossed with Copper EP. I colored the leaf with a water brush using Distress Oxide Inks Peeled Paint,Candied Apple, Fried Brick, Wild Honey, and Fossilized Amber. I added some foil strips using double sided tape with Designer Foil from Clearsnap. The GKD sentiment was also stamped with Versamark and heat embossed with the Copper EP. I attached the water color panel to a card base of Copper Metallic CS to finish.
