I made this card using the Leaves Awash jumbo wheel for the main image as well as the b/g. For the main image I wheeled it in black onto white card stock, then I watercolored the leaves with the aqua painter, the I sort of outlined the colored leaves with morning marigold, and then I filled in the remainder of the empty space with a sponge with morning marigold. Boy, do I love my morning marigold ink. Too bad it's only here for a short time!!!
The sentiment is computer generated as I didn't have a congrats stamp or anything appropriate to fit into that hodgepodge piece I wanted to use.
Also, I made this as a retirment card for a man who loves to be at his cabin in the woods. I thought the leaves were very approriate since, as a school teacher, this is his first autumn off. However, my boys prompty told me this card is too *girly* -- it's the colors they think are too feminine -- what do you think?
