Welcome
Here in Canada we will be celebrating Thanksgiving at the beginning of October, so I wanted to get a few card made to mail out.
Today's card features the newly released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called:
I paired it up with an older stencil called Stick Wreath to give the wreath a fuller look.
So, here's what I did to create my card.
- I placed the Simple Leafy Frame stencil over a piece of white cardstock and inked it up with some Distress Oxide inks in these colours: Rustic Wilderness; Lumberjack Plaid; Ripe Persimmon.
- I removed that stencil and placed the Stick Wreath right over the stenciled leaves and inked with some Rusty Hinge and Vintage Photo DOX ink.
- I used a circle die to cut out the middle area of the wreath.
- Next, I got out a piece of dark green cardstock and embossed it with a dot embossing folder, then glued that onto an 4 1/4" square white card base.
- I used some foam tape to pop the wreath over the embossed background.
- I stamped the sentiment, cut it out and used some more foam tape to place it over the middle of the wreath.
- I add a twine bow to the top to finish my card off.
Here are the stencils I used:
