I hope you all like my palette of fall colors. I saw this technique on facebook done by Tammy Wilson - such a cool technique. You take thick white cardstock and blend colors in to it with blending brushes. Then you flick water on to it with aqua painters. Then you let it dry or use a heat tool to dry it and then you strategically die cut the leaves making sure to get some varigated colors on each leave. No two cards are alike and it so fun to do you can't stop once you start!! Give it a try!!! SO MUCH FUN!! My dessert was adding metallic paper and ink. Happy Tuesday everyone!!

What a clever technique you used for the leaves, Karen! I can see how addicting this could become! Love the big square frame, the copper and the embossed base. Beautiful card, and thank you for such a lovely palette to work with this week!

Karen, how fun that we both used copper on your cards! The colors you selected for us this week are so gorgeous! I will definitely try this cool technique .... it really adds that something extra to your beautiful fall leaves!
