*CAS188 Sweet Gum Leaf

Photo Details

Poster: hobbydujour

Denise gave us a gorgeous photograph from Pinterest for our inspiration. I got out my watercolors to do the bg. I stamped the leaf veins and stem and came back with the corresponding base stamp using VM and clear EP. I added further color to help define the leaf with distress inks and a sponge dauber. Lastly, I spritzed with "Goosebumps"...which, of course, doesn't show up in my photograph.

This is absolutely unbelievable. I studied it a long time. The colors are so well chosen and blended. The Goosebumps was very clever. So beautiful. Into my favs.
