This simple card was made using the Crafter's Companion Create-a-Card dies.  For this card, I used just the center cut, and replaced the middle medallion after the paper had been spritzed.  I used three motifs for the card.

Thank You Fall Leaf Card

This was a fun stamp to play around with my watercolors.  I inked the stamp with my Spectrum Aqua pens, and then stamped onto dampened watercolor paper.  I re-inked the stamp with Versamark and heat embossed with black powder.  I painted the background with Twinkling H2O's.
