Celebrate Fall

Good Morning
Fall is in the air with cooler mornings.  The leaves are turning colours which inspired my card.
Meet the newly released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called

So, here's what I did to create my card.
  • I put a piece of white cardstock onto my Make Art Station and added the Blowing Leaves stencil over that.  
  • Next, I inked over the whole stencil using some Fossilized Amber, Ripe Persimmon and some Lumberjack Plaid Distress Oxide ink. I thought these colours were perfect for the colours of the changing leaves.
  • I used a rectangle die to cut right from the center of the stenciled leaves and set aside.
  • I glued my large card front panel onto a piece of rust coloured cardstock, then onto an A2 sized white card base.
  • I glued the smaller die cut panel onto the same rust cardstock and used some foam tape to position it back into place over my card front.
  • I die cut the sentiment from the rust cardstock and then cut it again 4 more times with some white. I glued them all together, offsetting a bit to help the sentiment show up better against the colourful background.  I glued that over the middle of  my card front.
  • Finally, I added 3 red gems under the sentiment to finish off my card

Here is the stencil I used:

Another great card using the Blowing Leaves stencil Karen, and the yellow, orange and red shades are complemented really well by the brown card for mats and layers, and the die cut sentiment works well with the white shadow layer, and the red gems finish it perfectly. x

Great use of the stencil once more Karen, and an eye catching card as a result. I find this really appealing.
