For my card I put some Distress Oxide inks on an acrylic block and spritzed with water.  I placed the block on watercolour paper and weighted it down for a little while and then removed the block.  The puddle of colour gave some pretty autumnal tones.  I stamped the watercolour with a script stamp from Chocolate Baroque and adhered a pretty wooden leaf.  I hope you like it,

What gorgeous colors on your artsy background! This is definitely one of my favorite combinations. I also love that you achieved that beautiful deckling from this technique, not always easy to get. The wooden leaf and script are perfect on this.
