This first card is one made with Michael Strong's new cameo stamps. The leaves were made by taking a sage green paper, bleaching it and then using 3 autumn leaf colors, apply direct to paper. Cut out the leaves and draw in the veins using a colored pencil. The stems were made by using the same card stock cut into a strip, folded in half and cut out a narrow strip and attach to the back of the leaf.
The 2nd background was done quite by accident. Have you ever wondered what happens when you print on the wrong side of photo paper? It doesn't dry, and instead just smears. But, if you stop it soon enough, and apply a fixative, you wind up with a beautiful soft background. That's what happened here. Then I stamped Stamp-A-Mania's barn stamp with Brown Memories ink on a piece of sticker paper, cut it out and attached it to the background. I glued it to the inside front of this window card. I rather like the way it came out.

Love both of these cards - the one on photo paper is really quite lovely!
