Paint Party Friday - Leaf in Shadow

For Paint Party Friday I've done an art greeting card (6"h x 4"w) 'Leaf in Shadow', inspired by a leaf that blew into my front door the other day. I took a photo pictured below and went from there! Thanks to Valerie at Bastelmania for the gift of some good quality cardstock!
