Speedy the Cat Friends Challenge #72 - Punches

Welcome to Speedy the Cat's Friends challenge#72.  We are being challenged to use punches on our cards.  I actually had to use a leaf die because I didn't have anything appropriate in the way of punches for the card I wanted to make.  I stamped the background panel with the leaf from a soon to be released set Autumn Glory.  I painted the leaf image with Pearl-ex paints in various colors and stamped it onto white card stock.  Wow does it shimmer!  I also did a Pearl-ex wash on watercolor paper and cut a leaf with a Cuttlebug leaf die and embossed it with the companion embossing folder.
Now it is your turn to play - create something new using punches and link it directly to InLinkz on Mark's Finest Papers blog for a chance to win a not yet released stamp set.  If you use MFP images you will be entered twice!
Thanks for coming by!

    Harriet this is just lovely. The layers the colors and the pretty embossing on the leave. Just perfect.

    Bear Hugs,

    P.S. sorry about the deleted post on the puppy. I am having major computer issues with a new computer and struggling to get things done. I think they have decided after 8 weeks to send me a new computer because they cannot fix this one!
