I didn't know about the maple leaf when I went to work. I mostly played with the pencil. I did lots of Blade Pro stuff. The presets used are listed below. They are easier to see on some of the other images.

All 8 of these pencils are eager to get to work on improving this tree.

Blade Pro presets used on the pencils, starting with the pencil at 12 o'clock and going clockwise.

I made a flower from the tips of the pencils.

Now I decided to frame it. The frame is done with the autumn preset from Blade Pro. The canvas is airbrushed in PSP using the fruit peel paper setting. I then did a drop shadow and a cutout.

I decided to give the leaf a try.
