Welcome back to day two of Newton's Nook Designs' August release week! Today we have a gorgeous new set done in Jen's unique quilled style - Beautiful Leaves! I love these sets! Beautiful Flowers has been a longtime favorite of mine, and I can see this new set joining Beautiful Flowers right at the top of my list!!
I did something a little different with my card - I die cut several of the leaves and then placed them on top of watercolor paper as a mask. I sprinkled on some fall shades of Color Burst watercolor powders and spritzed them with water. I let the watercolor dry and then lifted off the leaf masks to reveal this pretty piece!
I didn't want to do too much more with it since it was gorgeous already, so I just heat embossed the sentiment from the Beautiful Leaves stamp set in the corner with gold embossing powder and then added a few gold pearls and some twine around the top of my card. So elegant!
See you again tomorrow!
