I stamped the leaves in red and yellow using a (heavy-handed) rock and roll technique. I used some masking fluid on the leaves and sponged a blue background. I flicked a little water on it to replicate the background on Michelle's tag. My sentiment, of course, is French.
I used the colors from The Paper Players and was totally going to add this at Less is More where the challenge is one layer with "something French" then I remembered that my sentiment was an additional layer. Rats! By the way, once I had this all put together I realized that I did this with the tag upside down! Double rats!
