Since we were to make a loooonnng card, I thought I would share with you the weather I went through today, only picture all these leaves falling right over a pool.....the card....
From left to right:
Panel one - when I left for work early this morning it was over cast and a little chilly.
Panel two - the wind came up and started blowing leaves everywhere. They were falling in the pool faster than I could scoop them out.
Panel three - then along with the wind came the rains. Fortunately, it didn't start raining real hard until my last pool. So after I finished it, I went to Michaels and shopped......like I need more craft supplies! hehe
All coloring was done with re-inkers, then versa marked and clear ep. The clouds were sponged. The three green leaves are from my new MS punch. It comes with two clear stamps and the punch. Way cool. The fence is also MS.
Layered it all over some orange cs I put on a white card that I had sponged the edges.
Well, hope you had fun going with me today....TFL :0)

So you had some though weather today, huh? Oh yeah, sure in good sacramento, like they ever have bad weather. Didnt I tell you way back when that ... I came to sacramento, I was going to wreck havoc with both your pools and your weather. Oh, ye of little faith! Next time you'll pay more attention to what I have to say. Today's weath was a good lesson for you: call in sick on windy rainy days! Love your card and the fence is just a bonus! Hmmmm, looks like it was not the kind of day this stamper would have wanted to be in! Sweet card, sweet friend.

Wonderful card!! I do so understand about leaves and a pool!! For 30 years I had a pool with 25 live oak trees around it!! They are messy for about 6 months of the year!! NO POOL NOW!!! YEAH!!
