I needed to make an ATC using leaves, so this is what I came up with. For the large focal leaf I used a scrap of Baby Wipe leaves I made last year with Autumn Leaf Prints. After stamping the colored leaves onto Very Vanilla, I overstamped them with Versamark using my stampa-ma-jig and embossed with detail clear EP. Then I watercolored the leaf with Bravo Burgundy and Perfect Plum reinkers using my aquapainter. The leaf is popped up on dimensionals.
The patchwork tiles are made with a one inch square punch and stamped with the matching classic inks using the argyle stamp from Background Sampler and the leaf stamp from Fabulous Four. I colored in the Fabulous Four leaves with my Versamarker and also used it to edge the squares for more definition. I also edged the small punched leaves with the Versamarker.

Oh, my word! Now that's what I call some gorgeous Fall colors! Interesting, too...I've always seen plum in oak leaves when they're turning. I just love all your different, beautiful blocks of vibrant Fall colors. What a wonderful ATC, Linda!
