For this week's challenge....and in honor of the Fall season, which seams to finally be upon us, I pulled out an old favorite, 
Autumn Leaf Prints. This is probably my all-time favorite leaf set by SU, but sadly, it retired a few years ago. (The newer leaf set -- With Gratitude, presently available is lovely, and somewhat similar in style....I just like this one better!)
Autumn Leaf Prints. This is probably my all-time favorite leaf set by SU, but sadly, it retired a few years ago. (The newer leaf set -- With Gratitude, presently available is lovely, and somewhat similar in style....I just like this one better!)So....watercoloring. This set is just so fabulous with watercolors...another reason to use it! Watercolor paper is key....simply stamping the leaves randomly onto watercolor paper in Timber Brown StazOn, then scribbled in with various earth-toned markers inside the leaves, and used Creamy Carmel around them. The Aqua Brush does the rest! The most difficult part of this card is waiting for the paper to dry!!
Stamps: Autum Leaf Prints, Canvas, Sanded, Best Yet (Hostess Level 1)
Inks: Timber Brown StazOn, Chocolate Chip
CS: Watercolor Paper, Old Olive, More Mustard, Creamy Carmel
Markers: Ruby Red, More Mustard, Close to Cocoa, Old Olive, Creamy Carmel
Misc: Wide Oval Punch (don't you just LOVE that new punch?!!), Old Olive Mini Brads, Dimensionals, Photo Corner Punch, Sponge Dauber
Thanks for stopping by...hope to see you as I visit the other bloggers. They are all amazingly talented...it's always worth the visit!!

Wowza! Another wonderful card, Barb! I just love the deep and rich color that each leaf has...and layered on that background it's just stunning!
Beautiful! The Sanded background works so well with those leaf images, too.
I love this leaf set too. You did a beautiful job on this card. The colors are so rich and earthy, really makes me feel impatient for Autumn to arrive here - though we never get those rich reds and oranges.
