Happy Canada Day everyone in our True North..strong and free!
This is a very simple card and there is no doubt that the design is a 'no brainer'! The leaf is interesting in that I used a die but didn't cut it out! Simply place some paper on the die then using a small paint brush wet all around the outside with water. Gently tear around the edges with your fingers and tweezers. This gives a ragged look which I think looks very natural. Flip the leaf over and burnish the veins of the leaf with a plastic erasure. I sponged a little burgundy around the edge and in the centre. The sentiment is from Mikes $1.50 bin.
