Leaves, Sunflowers and Pumpkins


Happy September!
Fall is right around the corner and the leaves are turning colours.
So meet 2 of the new stencils from A Colorful Life called:

I decided to use these 2 stencils together, so here's what I did.
  • I cut a piece of white cardstock and put the pumpkin from the Layered Sunflower Pumpkin stencil over that. I inked up the pumpkin first using some Ripe Persimmon Distress Oxide ink.  To add some shading, I added just a touch of Lumberjack Plaid DOX ink to the top of the pumpkin.
  • I cleaned the stencil off and then moved it to stencil the sunflowers with Fossilized Amber and some Mustard Seed DOX ink.
  • I moved the stencil again and then finally inked the flower centers and the leaves of the flower.
  • Next, I stenciled some of the leaves from the Blowing Leaves stencil just under and around the pumpkin.  I did have to mask it off in a few areas to add the leaves around the base of the pumpkin.
  • I splattered just the pumpkin with my white Posca pen and set it aside to dry.
  • I cut another piece of white cardstock and placed the Blowing Leaves stencil over that.  I inked them up with some Ripe Persimmon, Fossilized Amber, Lumberjack Plaid and some Rustic Wilderness DOX ink.
  • I glued the Blowing Leaves stenciled panel onto a piece of red cardstock, then onto an A2 sized card base.
  • I fussy cut out the pumpkin and sunflower portion of my cardstock out next and used some foam tape to pop it over the leaf background.

Here are the stencils I used:
