Trying to watercolour ..........
I was experimenting with using a couple of leaf stamps,
colouring them with several different colours of distress markers
and then lightly spraying with water before stamping...
To finish I hi-lighted with a white pen, glossy accents over the
die cut layered sentiment and also for the water droplets.
This technique is very new to me......
I shall keep practising because it was fun to do......
Thank goodness for the Misti!

Looks like sheer perfection to me! The colors are glorious whilst the water droplets add a sort of magic to the whole thing! Love it!
Great effect and I would have never of thought of using the gel pen like that but it looks great,
You're definitely mastering this method of watercolouring - you got a beautiful blend of colours on your leaves. I've never thought of using glossy accents as water droplets - great idea! Thanks so much for joining us at CAS Watercolour!
I think you have perfected this technique, Mac!! Your leaves are GORGEOUS. Love the colours and the placement. And your glossy die-cut sentiment really pops and adds dimension. Great work. Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Watercolour! xx
SO VERY BEAUTIFUL, love the effect you have achieved on the leaves and the glossy accents have worked their magic, (with your help). Love the card and the sentiment. You inspire me to have a go at stamping!

Absolutely gorgeous Mac!! I just love your ability to combine mixed media with CAS so successfully! So much interest, colour, texture and work goes into this, and yet it's appears clean and simple. Quite a talent you have my friend! Love the glossy sentiment and the wonderful dew drops, such a gorgeous autumn piece!! sending hugs :)
Awesome leaves and that thick black sentiment - how did you make that??? although at second glance it almost reminded me about a slug crawling over the wet leaves. Sorry...I probably should have kept that thought to myself... ;)
Hi Cornelia....
Thank you for finding time to stop by my blog and leave such kind and generous comments.......And also funny ones....
I don't need to tell you now how I made the sentiment.... as it will forever be know as the 'slug' method x
And now I see it too...who knew xx

Wow, Mac ... what a stunner, it's beautiful ... seems you've mastered this technique already!

Beautiful card with beautiful fall leaves!
Beautiful card. Those leaves are gorgeous! Thank you for joining us for the Stamplorations October CAS card challenge.
This is stunning, great layout and those leaves look amazing. Love the touches of glossy accents too. Thank you for playing along with the STAMPlorations CAS Challenge xx
This is such a beautiful CAS card, Mac! I watched a Tim Holtz video a few days ago, and he was showing this technique. I thought I should get distress makers and try it. Then I saw your stunning card this morning. I'm even more motivated to get the markers! ;-P
The leaf veins highlighted by white pen are effective, and the water droplets are perfect finishing touches! Hideko xx
You mixed the watercolor paint well. I love how the colors get mixed up. I also love to add drops on the card, they look like autumn dew. Beautiful effect. Black sentiment so beautifully contrasts with the shining leaves. Great inspiration.
Hugs,

I love your gorgeous autumnal leaves falling down the page! And the gloss on the die cut sentiment is fab. Great work. Thanks so much for playing along with Uniko this month. Deborah, DT.
Love your glossy smile. I like using distress inks for colouring. Hugs Mrs A.
I'm crushing over and smitten with our water-coloured leaves; not only are they absolutely gorgeous, but they're maple leaves, which makes my Canadian heart smile! Stunning card in every way!
