For today's MMTPT Those Signs Should be Brightened challenge. Sorry - I'm short on time (so what's new), and focussed on just bright colour and not the fun, since I wanted to play along with Judy's TLC498 Wrap It Around challenge.
I stamped the sentiment first, then the leaves in bright colours. I used some drywall mesh wrapped around a narrow stamping block to stamp a grid "frame" for my wreath. I sponged the edges with Broken China, Scattered Straw and Peacock Feathers. Over this, I stamped using some crumpled tin foil wrapped around a larger stamping block, using Vintage Photo. It gave a great distress look! I doodled around the edges and then finished them off with a gold leafing pen.
Finished the card off with some Liquid Pearl dots.

Another amazing work of art, Sabrina. You are sooo creative...using the wrap technique twice. Both the foil and the mesh add such nice texture. What a stunning creation. Right into my favs.

Really cool techniques Sabrina!! Love the different textures you used for this card and the doodling around the edge...I thought it was cut that way at first. Love your gold leaf pen and your leaves are beautifully bright! Fantastic!

Simply gorgeous, Sabrina! I love your leaf wreath and the contrast of the cool brights against the warm foliage colors. Your comforting Psalm is a perfect verse for Connie right now. Thank you so much for coming to her Teaparty...I'm sure that a card coming from you will mean so much to her. Make sure to get some of those fun cookies - they are delicious!! Hugz from New Jersey.

It has been a long time since I have been on splitcoast and I sure have missed seeing beautiful cards like this made by my long time friends. You and my sis, mutt, are never afraid to try different techniques. Thanks for playing today. I feel very special,

Crafty and so creative my friend...I still want to look around and try that idea with the wrapping stuff around a block, look at the neat things it turns out, like this beautiful card and wonderful verse. I LOVE fall leaves, so warm and colorful and I Like how you finished it off with the pearls, distresssed and pretty together lovely job...TFS..:0)
