Giving Thanks

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:

Simple Leafy Frame

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:
