We Are Blessed

Welcome
Here in Canada, we celebrate Thanksgiving at the beginning of October, so I decided to use the new for September stencil called 
from A Colorful Life Designs to make a card.

So, here's what I did to create my card.
  • I cut a piece of white cardstock and then used the Postal Collage die to cut it out.
  • I placed that onto my Make Art Station and put the Blowing Leaves stencil onto the die cut and inked it up with these Distress Oxide colours:  Ripe Persimmon, Fossilized Amber, Rustic Wilderness, Lumberjack Plaid and Rusty Hinge.
  • Next, I added the above mentioned colours onto a scrap piece of white cardstock and die cut the leaves from that.
  • I glued my stenciled card front onto a piece of dark red cardstock, then onto an A2 sized card base.
  • I glued the die cut leaves to one side and then use some foam tape to pop the sentiment into the corner.

Here is the stencil I used:
