Fall Card Series #4 Leaves BONUS Recycle with me series #19 Scrap paper Leaves

Hello There, today I've got 3 cards for you they are a part of two series over on my YouTube channel.  They are part of my 2019 Fall card series and also a part of my Recycle with me series.   The reason they are part of the Recycle with Me series is I used all scrap paper to create the leaves on the cards.

When the water coloring was all done I cut the background into two so I could make two cards.  I adhered the background pieces onto the card base with the Scotch Advanced Tape Glider.   Then I took the clear wink of stella pen to add some sparkle to the flowers.  When using the wink of stella pen on watercolor you
