Hello My Friend

Welcome

Today's card is featuring one of the many new stencils for September from A Colorful Life Designs called Pumpkin Pouf.

I decided to use just the leaves of the stencil to create this simple card.

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I decided to use the Pumpkin Pouf stencil in a different way this time.  To see the first card I made using this stencil go HERE.  
• I got out my Simon Hurley Stamping Foam and heated it up with my heat tool.  I pressed it onto just the leaves of the pumpkin stencil, pressing firmly to make an imprint onto the foam.  
• I lifted up the Stamping Foam to see the fun leaf design it made and then I inked up one side of the Foam with some Shaded Lilac and the other side with Wilted Violet Distress Oxide ink.
• I gave it a light spray of water and then pressed it onto my white cardstock to give me the impression.  Some areas of the impression were faint, so I carefully went over them with my white Posca pen and then splattered the panel with that pen as well.
• When it was all dry, I placed it into my Misti to stamp the sentiment and clear heat embossed it.
• I glued the finished panel onto a piece of dark purple cardstock, then onto a piece of lighter, then onto an A2 sized card base.
• I added some black gems around the sentiment.

Here is the stencil I used:
