Addicted to CAS Challenge - Leaf

This will make for a lovely gallery for this challenge.  So many types and styles of cards using a leaf.

I went for my go-to leaf.  I have had this maple leaf for many, many years and it always works! ;)  I started with a water colored panel and using this die, I cut it out.  The hb is from Inspired By Stamping [OOB].

Because I just used regular card stock for the water coloring, it was really dull.  I pulled out my Diamond Glaze and covered the entire leaf.  I like the shiny result, and you can even see it pretty clearly in my photograph. [Oh yay me lol]  I am also entering this into the CAS Mix Up Challenge - Autumn Colors.

Your turn.  Come on over to Addicted to CAS and show us how leaf inspires you.  Remember to keep your card CAS.



Thanks for stopping by~

Hello, Vicky! That's a very real-looking fall leaf and adding the shine to it was a great idea. The bright red banner is unexpected but very effective! xoxo Fran
