Hi! This card fits today's Ways To Use It Challenge: Revved up for Red.
I stamped the leaves in Espresso and embossed in clear. Next, I colored with waterbased markers and used an aqua painter to blend.
The Background was stamped with the leaves.
When I think of leaves, I think of a story LONG ago, when I was in high school and my sister was in Jr. High. We were sent out to rake the 1 acre yard. Our little brother wanted to help, and we told him to leave us alone. He went to the shed and emerged with a very small hoe, about 3' long with a metal end of about 3 inches. He approached us and screamed, "You will let me rake!!! I have a sharp Hoe!!!" Hope and I looked at each other and raised our rakes at him and charged! He took one look and ran off! Ah...memories....

I love it Faith. I esp love the beautifully colored leaf and the little (helicopters is what I call them) on the right bottom of your card. Nicely done especially when red is not a favorite?!

Beautiful! Love the fall colored leaf and wonderful quote. But I'm thinking the palm trees down there don't turn colors, lol. I know they didn't in beach town where I grew up.
