Neat and Tangled Oak Leaves


Hi everyone!

Sandy is the hostess at The Paper Players this week for a theme challenge:



Trees and leaves!
A very timely theme for us up north...the leaves have been gorgeous this fall.


 I decided to use the Neat and Tangled Oak leaf die.
 I cut it out in 3 fun colors from my scrap box, and added the sentiment form Simon Says.




 The scalloped rectangle is from Wplus9 Sunshine Layers die, which I have been using ALL the time lately..I love that set!





I used my tooth brush and white paint to add a bit of speckles, then I sprayed it all with some Stampin' Up shimmer paint mist.
