This is the fourth of 6 cards I made with that one Color Me sheet of paper. It's interesting to see how the look of the paper changes as it is paired with other colors. This card uses vellum for the focal and the sentiment (it's a little hard to see in the picture, but it says "Thanksgiving Traditions" on the front).
I made the focal leaf by tracing one of the leaves from the Color Me paper onto the green vellum. Then I used the pergamano techniques I've started playing with and drew in the outline and veins with my embossing stylus. This, of course, showed up white, but that didn't go well with the card, so I inked over it with a light layer of green & brown. It would have been better if I'd drawn a slightly larger leaf, but I wasn't about to re-do it! It didn't show up as well as I wanted against the busy background, so I backed it with brown cardstock like I put under the sentiment.
Please let me hear from you!
