AUTUMN WATERCOLOUR

Bonnie and Loll have a new challenge out and it looks fantastic - CAS Watercolour - and the theme for this month is "autumn".  I needed a few masculine cards - so here is my entry.

 
I watercoloured the background with my Kuratake Gamsai colors using a little gold and copper metallic.  The leaf was was embossed with silver and copper several times for a nice heavy coat.  Added a copper frame and mounted it onto a soft gray card base.  Stamped the sentiment in black and embossed with clear so it was shiny too.
 

Thanks for visiting today and love to read your kind comments.
