Here are my card details.

 I went for a walk and picked up a maple leaf, one on the smaller side so it would fit my card front.

I painted the backside of the leaf (the side with all the raised veins) with some diluted green and brown Brushos with a paintbrush and then pressed the leaf onto my heavy white cardstock.  I love how natural it looked on my paper.  I let it dry for a little bit, then I went back in with a wet paintbrush and pulled some of the colour out around the leaf to make it look like it was laying in a wet puddle.

When that was all nice and dry, I placed the piece into my Misti and stamped the sentiment, then splattered all over using some black acrylic paint.

I simply mounted it onto a white card base, keeping it clean and simple.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
