Happy Autumn Painted Leaves card

Hello crafty friends! My favorite time of the year is so close I can almost feel it through the 90 degree weather! I am sharing a great technique for those of us who love to watercolor but just don't have the amazing talent like watercolor artists out there!  
I began with an A2 size card base made from smooth white cardstock. I then used a sheet of Tim Holtz watercolor paper to create a fun background. I ran the watercolor paper through the leafy greens embossing folder. 
I then used several of the beautiful colors from a set of mica watercolors using a paint brush to create a autumnal background with some shine. I then die cut the sentiment from copper metallic cardstock and the shadow from white cardstock and added it to the card with foam squares. 
I then stamped the sub-sentiment in clear embossing ink and heat set it with white embossing folder on a strip of dark red cardstock. I again used foam squares to adhere the strip to the cardbase.
I hope you enjoyed the project I have made and got some inspiration! For your convenience I have listed and linked the supplies I have used.

I also have a short reel on Instagram showing you a little bit of the process if you want to check that out! Thank you so much for stopping by!

I'm so happy to be sharing inspiration for the STAMPtember blog party! Happy 15th anniversary!! Check out this exclusive promotion for stopping by today!!👇👇 I have created a couple of projects to share using some of the amazing goodies from the new Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember release. I created this card with an A2 card base made from smooth white cardstock. I then trimmed down a panel of Yupo paper to create an autumnal background using alcohol inks. When it was dry I trimmed it down to fit the card base leaving a bit of a white border. I then die cut a frame from white cardstock and added to the card with liquid glue. I then die cut the new Fancy Just Because die from more white cardstock. The butterflies were cut from matte gold cardstock using the new Ooh La La Butterflies die and adhered with a glue dot in the middle so their wings could pop up. The next project I made also began with an A2 size card base made from smooth white paper. I then trimmed down another piece of
