Hi, Today I used some newpaper to stamp and die cut my leaves (Heartfelt) and flourishes (ODBD). I white washed it first with white Acrylic paint and water. After stamping with StazOn Yellow, orange and rusty brown, I sprayed with a bit of orange, yellow and light green Dylusions. I then coated the leaves with crackle medium and let dry.
My bg is done with Dylusions sprays and Sparkle spray.
I cut my flourishes out using just white washed newpaper.
I added Liquid Pearls-red around the other berries.
Thanks for looking!

This really is do pretty, Robin. The way you made the leaves is terrific...they look like the really crunchy ones that I love to step on because of the great sounds they make. The swirls are perfect, and the red berries have an awesome 3D look. What a stunning fall card.even though you don't like it, I sure do. Faved.
