CAS Mix-up and CAS Watercolor

I did some ghosting for the challenge at CAS Mix-up.  If you don't know what that is or need help in accomplishing it, go to the blog and check out the video links they have for you.
I inked my paper and then placed a stencil from PTI over it, spritzed with water and after a bit, mopped it up with a paper towel.  I didn't really like it so I inked it up again which gave a totally different look, not ghostly at all.
In fact it darkened the lightest parts but I may do that again because I like it.
But that's not the challenge so to remedy that I replaced the stencil and spritzed again.  I trimmed down the panel and added the watercolored leaf from PTI.  It needed something so I added the splatter and the acorns.  Now before you make a comment, I know that's NOT an oak leaf but it was done and I didn't want to change it.

Since I watercolored the leaf, I'm also sending this to the sister challenge CAS Watercolor whose theme is Autumn.

That's the last of my finished cards.  I guess I'd better get busy.  Thanks for dropping by.
