I really liked the sketch challenge at SCS today, and needed a card to go along with another project I am sending away.
So I've watercolored these lovely leaves and the one popped up rose on watercolor paper. IAnd I've given them a light shadow with a C2 Copic marker. I used simple embellishments like the tied ribbon and simple brads because it needs to have a masculine look.
Not sure if you can see it but I ran the black section through the Argyle Texturz plate to match the designer paper, it really adds to the design. But it's so hard to photograph it in black.
