Fall Layout - Take 5 Tuesday at PI

Get ready to Take 5! Head over to the Paper Issues Blog to see how we used 5 elements from the list. Here is what I came up with. A picture from when my dad raked his entire backyard into one pile just so these 3 could play in it. They have a wonderful grandpa!

I used orange, cardstock, 3 patterned papers, leaves, and watercolors. The leaves were cut from a free cut file in the Paper Issues Store. I resized them and cut a full sheet of white cardstock. Then I watercolored them. I had to do it a couple times to get the colors dark enough. The veins are just brush strokes from the second application. I didn't use gesso which made the leaves curl and I like how they pop off the page.

What 5 will you choose? Once your layout is complete, post it in the Paper Issues Friends and Fans Facebook Group for a chance to win one of the monthly prizes!
