My friend Elizabeth had sent me watercolor paper leaf shapes and I wanted to play with them.  Using a lot of paper under them, so I could make a huge mess.   I used a stiffer brush, and my Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolors in the 36 count set.  Here's a link if you are looking to buy them.   http://tinyurl.com/y7kjb6x8
  I dipped the brush into the watercolors (that I had pre-wet) and added a little water to the end of the brush.  Take your finger and pull the brush fibers toward yourself while aiming it at the leaf or whatever shape you use. Use a bunch of colors until your leaf is covered.  They take on a metallic sheen when you add any of the metallic colors near the bottom of the palette of colors.  I used tear tape and a little wet glue to adhere them to green card stock. 
  For the sentiment, I used Rubbernecker Stamps Freehand Phrases #900 (link to them -- http://www.rubbernecker.com/product-p/900.htm )
and stamped it with a darker ink color on the bottom corner of my 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" card.  I glued the leave to the front of the card on an angle and trimmed away any that was hanging over the edges.  I used gold Stickles and went around the edges of the leaf to accentuate it.   I added some dots of gold Stickles (here's a link to Stickles http://tinyurl.com/ycvbpfds ) on the Maple leaf.  Any time you use Stickles, make sure you give them a really long time to dry, overnight is best, and keep them out of your work area, or you'll end up smearing them--not that I would know anything about that. haha.
  On the envelope, I used a leaf from the Autumn Glory set of peg stamps in Always Artichoke ink from Stampin' Up.  Here's a link to the peg stamp I used.   Here's a link to the stamp I used.
