Let's Gather Leaves

Good Morning and Welcome

The new releases for September are great at A Colorful Life Designs.  

The one I used on this card is called

Layered Fall Foliage.

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

• I cut a piece of white cardstock and placed it onto my Make Art Station.  The Layered Fall Foliage is a 2- part stencil but I just used stencil #1 for my card.
• I inked up the stencil with some Fossilized Amber and some Ripe Persimmon.  
• I wanted to add some different looking interest to my card, so I looked through my other stencils from older releases and got out the Stained Glass stencil.  
• Leaving the leaf stencil in place, I put the Stained Glass right over the top and inked that up with some Lumberjack Plaid DOX ink.  It gave some really unusual interest to the leaves.
• I removed the stencils, added a bit of the red ink along the card edges and then splattered with my white Posca pen.
• I placed the stenciled panel into my Misti to stamp the sentiment.
• I glued the finished piece onto some red cardstock, then onto an A2 sized white card base.
• Finally, I cut 2 red strips of paper, glued them to the side and added 3 black gems around the sentiment.   

Here are the stencils I used:
