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:

The two shades of purple work brilliantly together Karen and the outline of part of the pumpkin image is very pretty using the stamping foam to transfer the image, and highlighting the line with the white pen has worked really well, and love the spattering and the big bold black stamped 'Hello' and the complementary black gems finish it perfectly. x
