🍂Leaves with a difference. 🍂


Happy First Birthday CAS watercolours team, a wonderful and
inspiring blog to always visit.  Here is my contribution using real
leaves, gelato's and water spritzed and 'stamped' onto my
watercolour paper... inspired by Karen.  I will, however
use Karen's technique to the fullest with Distressed Oxides
 next time and not gelato's.
 I do hope you can see the veins
in the leaves here...


These are the leaves I used....

Gorgeous card and the colour of the leaves are beautiful. There are maple trees in my supermarket card park and the leaves turn the most wonderful red before dropping. This reminds me. Christine xx

Beautiful Annie.

Excuse that it was long ago I blogged. A close friend died while we moved to a new home and we had a long holiday. I'am back now ;-)

Chris said...

Great fun Annie! Have used a version of this technique many times over the years, both when I was running kid's activities and with my own kids and grandkids! Ours involved loads of paint(and a lot of mess!) the results were no where near as elegant yours...but it was fun! Thanks for bringing back some fun memories!
