Oh my gosh, somebody STOP ME! I just can't stop making cards today! Well, I guess I'm gonna have to now...time for bed!
I really wanted to try embossing this image in white and watercoloring over it. I also used the new Seasonal Icons set (from the level 3 hostess preorder) for the leaves in the background. The grid was done after stamping the background, and I sponged over the grid lines just a bit for some OOMPH...hope you like it!
