It's Word Week over at Just Us Girls Challenge #748 and the word is LEAVES.
I love leaves and own a ton of leaf dies in every shape and size. It's my dream to see
fall foliage anywhere--brilliant reds and oranges, please. I seem to be missing the mark as
we've traveled to see them many times with no luck.
I have seen ginkgo leaves in Japan and I love their fan shape and that no two are the same.
Here's my card featuring ginkgo leaves in bright colors because I've rediscovered my
Zig Kuretake markers.
I started out with green and yellow pens, and grabbed pinks and purples just for fun.
I rather like how they looked--pretty much like umbrellas. After spattering them with
white paint, they were adhered to a tree ring embossed card and I made sure to
stamp the sentiment before embossing it.
A little far fetched, I know, but wouldn't it be awesome to see leaves in those colors?
Thanks, always, for stopping by!
Beautiful card! Love the colors and texture!

Vermont in early October is my favorite tried and true leaf peeping place, Donna. This year was so hot and so dry though, I think that most spectacular has not been up to par. Your card is so beautiful, and you suely have a way with those Zigs! I love the tree ring background and what a wonderful sentiment!!!! Love seeing you in the JUGS gallery! Thanks for playing with us!
ReplyDeleteGinkgo leaves are a favorite leaf shape of mine and yours in these beautiful colors are fabulous! Love that tree ring background so much!!!! What a beautiful card! Thanks for playing with us at Just Us Girls this week!
ReplyDeleteI love your brilliant ginkgo leaves, Donna! It's hard to plan ahead to see the foliage as it varies from year to year. I grew up in VT and haven't seen that kind of foliage in over 50 years. We tried a few times but never made it at the peak.
