Love this Sabrina and particularly LOVE the leaves! There are so many in our yard even after daily clean up. There are an abundance of leaves JUST like yours, right down to the brown speckles. Beautifully done.

Very cool card!! Love the background and the popped up leaves! Thank you for explaining your techniques and sharing that you are a rule follower....kinda ironic, actually, since you try so many different techniques.....the artist in you allows you to go wherever you want to go....I love that!!
