Watercolored Maple Thanks

We are certainly enjoying fall weather here. The chilly air, grape harvest and wood gathering are all around us that signal that autumn has arrived. I have a mixed media, water colored card for you today. I had so much fun making this.

I first hand sketched the big maple leaf and did the wet-on-wet technique using my kids' cheap watercolors. This is the first time I've done this technique and I'm a fan now.

I then added pseudo textures using various Penny Black stamps: Textures (burlap) and The Love Chapter (script text). The paper was distressed on the edges. With the stamped textures, distressed water color paper, the panel looks like it's a piece of cloth. The sentiment is die cut using Penny Black's Wishes dies.

Challenges: Die-Cut Divas (something new: wet-on-wet technique), Muse Challenge (Inspirations from the Muse card: my maple leaf substituted the circle, and the die cut sentiment), Cardabilities (sketch).

Have a great day!
