Creative Tuesdays - Found Object

Welcome to Creative Tuesdays! The current theme is 'found object'. Michael always comes up with interesting challenges and I am able to learn so much from them. There are tons of maple leaves blowing around outside at this time of year. So I chose a brilliant red maple leaf as my 'found object'. I glued it onto a textured dark green cardstock sheet (12" x 12"). Then it became a necklace with the help of some acrylic paint!  Hope you love this one as much as I do!

That maple leaf is a super colour and such a great idea to make it a necklace. It would definately make a great greetings card.
