As I was walking home this morning I thought how wonderful the colours of the leaves on the ground were . I saw this particular one and picked it up .It was still early and the frost was around the edges . When I got home I dried it and coated it with PVA glue . A few years ago whilst on an Art course I made a whole project on leaves including mobiles coated in this way which preserves them .I added glitter to recreate the frosted effect .Whilst that was drying I designed a leaf background on Serif using several programs sprayed it with Spray and sparkle and put glossy accents on the conker and acorn . I cut 2 ovals using my Cricut and used copper gildIing wax around the edges .I put PVA on the back of all the leaf and that will seal it in . I added a peel off sentiment and know that if I do not give it to someone for their birthdaythis year it will last until next year ,
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges
