Fall leaves-2ways

Prompted by Splitcoast challenges, I have put together 2 leaf themed cards. 

For todays Technique Lovers Challenge (TLC), we were challenged to create with  leaves- real leaves- and stamp and emboss them.  I inked them up with DOX ink and clear embossed them.  The sentiment is by Unity Stamps. 

 This challenge was a lesson in Negative painting.  I did not have too many overlapping images, so plan to create one myself to try this again.  This leaves stamp is by Technique Junkies. The sentiment is by Sunny Studios. I was inspired by the Alpha challenge (over at Splitcoast) and it was the wek of Y- I used Yellow cardstock, Yellow watercolor paint and Yellow enamel dots.  Yellow is not usually a color I reach for- but love it for fall color combo's. For watercoloring, I used Distress ink, SU markers spritzed with water and a couple of Arteza waterbrushes. 

I hope you are staying well and sane with the ongoing stay at home orders.  I have a couple of family members affected by the virus, one is back at work and the other is still on quarentine, and doing OK.  

Thanks for stopping by!
