Loved the layout of this leaf image here, and it was perfect for a gratitude card.
Watercolor smooshing on watercolor cs for my leaves and added splattering with white acrylic paint and also the DI inks used in the smooshing. Spritzed this panel with shimmer spritz for sparkle. Die cut the leaves from this wc piece and then die cut the "frames" for the leaves in gold shimmer cs. Assembled the leaves and frames, replacing some of the small frame pieces for added interest. Arranged on a white panel slightly smaller than my card front and gold embossed the sentiment. Matted the frame with the same gold shimmer cs. LOVE how this turned out!!

This is gorgeous! I love the layout too. I love those die cuts and the wonderful way they look when you leave some of the bits from the outline cut and fill in with other papers. Your DI background from which the leaves are cut again and filled in are marvelous. A perfect gratitude card. Love the sentiment. Thanks for linking up and playing with us at Time Out!
