I brayered, I sponged, I masked, I stipple brushed, I embossed resisted, I cut stuff out, I punched...
Then I stood back and saw that I had made a few mistakes that Michelle Zindorf had warned me against, and I had forgotten to do some things that she had told me to do.
Then I said, "Tough! I have too much time into this to worry about Hallmark perfection!"
Tater - you are a hard act to follow.

To quote a famous stamper: "Sensationaltasticlous!!!!!" Yeah, I said it! Brat, talk about needing a body guard- this is gawgus (That's Tater-Texan, ya know...) I love your scene and the way the leaves are falling. Too wonderful! Also, the sentiment on the leaf is just beautiful! This is a fav for sure! Love it Brat! LYMI...hugs!

Super job on your brayering, stippling, masking, etc.. Love this fall card with the beautiful leaves and the perfect verse. Oh yeah, that word that Pat said, too.

No mistakes here Terri, Hallmark wish their cards were this good, I love how the brooding sky is the perfect backing for the magificent autumnal tree image.
Coruscate, pellucid, I've not idea what either of those words mean but I had to throw those in there because Pat started it with the big words that I don't understand hehehe!

Brat, I haven't taken the Zindorf class yet, so I have no idea what you screwed up!! LOL!! I'm taking her class in Feb. and probably won't remember either. I think you did such a lovely scene and feel to your card and I love trees. A stipple brush, sponging, brayering - oh my, The Fruitcake couldn't possibly do all that. You must be a mighty smart one. Love the falling leaves and the sentiment in the large leaf. If I did one like this, I'd have to use mass amounts of embellies to cover ALL my mistakes. You, on the other hand, faired well without them!! Hugs!

Now I think this is just plain gorgeous!!!! I myself can't brayer at all. You gave it a shot and I do believe you did quite well. Love the grassy hills, your tree and falling leaves. Love it a lot. All that is missing is one of your "stick" figures. hehe TFS :0)

It would have been a shame if you had not uploaded this wonderful card. Your tree leaves are so vibrant and beautiful against that dark sky. I love it! Stick figures.....???????? Just read Mutnik's comment.
