TLC507 - Is to do a Copic Ink Background and use a hand sanitizer gel or a similar product to get the results shown in the tutorial. I tried using s straight edge to add the veins in the leaf. Since this was the first time I had ever done this I will need to experiment more to see if I can get better results. It was a fun challenge.
MMTPT328 - Make masculine cards that call to mind the many small blessings that we experience each day. For me that is fall and all the colors in the trees. They are nearly gone but that does not mean I can't try to recreate them for others to see the pretty colors.
Thanks for looking.

Very pretty! I am amazed that we still have leaves in the middle of November - it's been a beautiful fall. I will have to try this technique...love the look that it gave your leaf. Wonderful masculine card. Thanks so much for coming to Ernie's Teaparty. He would love this! Grab some cookies...this is a very soothing card.

Wonderful idea to use fall colors and a leaf for this technique! Your results are beautiful!! Love the twine wrapped around the stem and your white BG is just perfect! My woods are covered with 6 inches of snow this week; had almost forgotten about fall!

Your leaf looks so cool with your inky spots! I didn't even miss the veining. This has been such a gorgeous fall, I think your card will be a wonderful reminder for Ernie as well as bring him some cheer!!!
