Sabrina's looking for leaves in this week's WTUI challenge, Would You Be-Leaf It. Hope you'll play along!
I had a fun afternoon masking and stamping with leaves. I placed the leaves upside down on watercolor paper and stippled watercolor with a fairly dry brush. Then I painted the underside of the leaves with copper H2O paints. I added copper die cut sentiment and sequins to complete. Wish the photo captured the pretty glimmer on the leaves. TFL

Pretty card! The background watercoloring is so nice, and the stippled leaves have an indistinct look that makes them seem like they are falling through the air. Your color scheme is also beautiful.

You've got such a wonderful soft look here - it's almost like fabric to look at. What a clever idea to stipple the background first. And gosh, I'd forgotten about stamping with my H2Os. I used to do that when I first got them. I can imagine how pretty the copper glimmer is.

H2O's make the colors so shiny and lively. IRL, this card must just "sing"!! Beautiful!
