Hi everyone. Back with another watercolored card. This one was sent to my very good friend, Nancy. She has now received the card, so I'm sharing it with you. :)
Used Distress inks again for this card ... the colors are more vibrant that with the Stampin' Up! inks (which I used on some of my watercolored cards to get a subtler look). This time I used masking so it appears that one leaf is behind the other. Definitely need practice ... but I'm learning lots. :)
I thought Nancy would appreciate these lovely fall maple leaves from her Canadian friend :)
I'm entering this into the Time Out challenge (#16 - CASE of Heather Telford). Heather's card is so amazing! Mine is a very CAS version. :)

A wonderfully serene, adding good energy card. Nancy only envy such a gift.
Great Card LOLL, thanks so much for sharing
Not only was your card even more gorgeous IRL, but it is also a card that needs to be touched! All the colors, textures from the watercolor paper and masked leaves are just stunning!!! Denny and I are enjoying both this beauty and my birthday card more than you can even imagine.
TFS Loll and being such a very special and talented close friend :-) Hugs, nancy

I think Fall is your season! Another stunning leaf card - I love the bg too!
Such pretty leaves and background! Your masking looks perfect to me!
Your watercoloring is just fantastic! Beautiful card.
thanks for joining in with AAA. :)
I'm sure Nancy loved the card! I do! Great background!
Breathtaking, Loll ... this is just so lovely! Delighted you played along with us at Time Out! Anita :)
I don't know how you do it, but you manage to combine crisp and clean with shabby and messy! What a wonderful background and the leaves are brilliant! Love it! hugs :)
Stunning card, Loll, such an eye catcher! Love the background and leaves x
Water-colouring is your niche, Loll (then again, you work magic with everything you touch). The background, the leaves...fall splendor splendidly captured! Happy Thanksgiving!
Hugs~c
Loll, this is so rich and deep and perfect for fall! Love the splatter, a perfect touch! Thanks for joining us at CASology!
Confining your splatter to a smaller, more dense area keeps this card clean and simple Loll! So glad you joined us at CASology this week!
Great CAS card! Thank you for joining us at the Time Out Challenge.
this is BEAUTIFUL!!! Everything about your card is beautiful!
Wow Loll, this is a stunning card!! I am so loving those maple leaves and the way you water colored them. You did an amazing job at masking the leaves to make the one look like it is behind the other one!! I really gives the illusion that the top leave is lifted up some, so I'd say you are doing great with that technique! The colors are so pretty and perfect autumn colors. The background amazes me too. I so want to be like you when I grow up. lol Hugs, Brenda
