watercolor place cards

This year, my mom asked me to be in charge of the Thanksgiving place cards. This is not a task I take lightly! I immediately headed to Pinterest to find some inspiration and came up with a game plan. I decided to cut out leave from thick watercolor paper and then paint each leaf with a smattering of fall colors. I wanted the result to be unique and painterly. When all was dry, I used a thin marker to write the name of each guest on a leaf. This was a quick and easy project and it was fun to be a little creative this year!
