Good Morning
I'm happy to say that I have a good start on creating my holiday cards.
This new stencil from A Colorful Life Designs added a great look to my wreath card.
Meet the new for September stencil called:
So, here's what I did to create my card.
- I love combining older stencils with the new one, so for my wreath I got out the older stencil called Leaf Frame. I placed that over a piece of white cardstock and inked it up with some Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide ink. To add some dimension to the leaves, I added just a hint of Salty Ocean DOX ink.
- I removed that stencil and then added the Simple Leafy Frame stencil, layering it over the Leaf Frame and inked that with some Rustic Wilderness DOX ink.
- Next, I used just the berries from the Holly Wreath stencil and inked those over the leaves with some Lumberjack Plaid ink.
- I die cut the wreath using my circle dies and set aside.
- I cut a piece of dark red cardstock and embossed it with a plaid embossing folder and splattered with my white Posca pen.
- I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of white cardstock and die cut it out. I die cut the word outline 4 more times and then glued them all together.
- I glued the embossed red plaid cardstock onto a 4 1/4 square white card base and then added the wreath over that.
- I used some more foam tape to add the sentiment over the middle of the wreath.
Here are the stencils I used:
