Mary has some lovely warm colors for us this week: Poppy Parade + Crushed Curry + Pumpkin Pie with fall for dessert. I briefly entertained the idea of coming up with a pumpkin spice card but settled on these leaves against a brick wall instead, thinking the cooler gray tones would be a fun "foil" for the colorful leaves.
I cut the textured diecut leaves out of watercolor paper, watercolored them with the challenge color ink pads and a watercolor brush. When dry, I tapped them into the inkpads to get a little more color on some of the "veins".
The Brick & Morter folder was brayered with white craft ink before running the Basic Gray card stock through my Big Shot. The Smoky Slate is embossed with the Subtle folder. I used one of the Stitched Label dies to cut out the greeting from Gather Together.
I look forward to seeing a gallery full of fall color this week.

Chris,
Using dark gray for your bricks was incredible with the bright leaves. This is a gorgeous card.
