I am needing a card to send our hosts after Thanksgiving. They provide a week of dinners and visitors. We so help out 2 or 3 times with something pot luck, but they do the most of the work and we have come to be friends with their friends and family who come. RV's start arriving on tue and some don't leave until sunday.
It's too far for us to have dinner with our girls so this is huge for us.
I'm also submitting this to the Festive Friday challenge for this period. Check it out here.
There are not many challenges out there were they have goodies to be given out. They do it on a point system, you rack up points for posting and other stuff.
They also give you 2 different types of projects to choose from, and that makes it easier too.
I did use a lot of colors on this, just the ink pads along with my spritzer and Aqua Painter. I took a large piece of Watercolor paper and just spritz both sides (that helps it lay flat) then brushed the aqua painter against the ink pad one at a time and brushed some onto the paper. The smaller sections you do the more colors you can get when you cut your leaves. It's a very simple and quite pretty way to do the leaves and sometimes other things.
Colors I used are: Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze, Mango Melody and Highland Heather.
Let the paper dry then lay your leaf die over and move it around until you like what you see.
