Acrylic Block Leaves

 

I tried the acrylic block technique and didn't like the image on the paper so I decided to diecut the leaves out of it and add some color spritzing and brayering to them.

I stamped pumpkin pie and cajun craze on my acrylic block, sprayed with water, then stamped on whisper white. I then diecut all of the leaves; used SU's color spritzer tool and added cherry cobbler, more mustard and crumb cake. Brayered edges with soft suede on some leaves and cajun craze on the others. Background panels are embossed with wood grain folder. Cardstock: espresso, so saffron, whisper white. Happy Thanksgiving from TEENY TINY WISHES set. Leaves are spellbinders nested maple leaves. Ribbon is daffodil delight. I used popup dots on a few of the leaves.
