I am short on thank you cards right now, so when I saw the CAS(E) this Sketch challenge this week...it was perfect for a Fall thank you!! Here's my card and the sketch...
Used my MISTI and just kept moving my paper up as I went lighter on the inks. I started with black and used 4 colors of gray. The leaf is from Impression Obsession (I think it's so pretty:)!!), the sentiment is Papertrey Ink. I die cut the leaf from watercolor paper then used watercolor paints(a hint...I ran the leaf in the die back through my Big Shot AFTER I colored to strengthen the veins of the leaf that watercoloring mutes...it's all in the details:)!!). Layered then adhered over the sentiments...
I have a feeling that I'll be doing some more of these...so much FUN!! Thanks for visiting me today!!
Hugs!! Lisa
