Welcome and Happy World Cardmaking Day!!!
Fall is here and the cooler temperatures are in the air.
Today's card features a great new stencil called Leaves and Acorns from A Colorful Life Designs.
A very simple one to create.
So, here's what I did to create my card.
- I cut a piece of white cardstock and placed the Leaves and Acorns stencil onto my Make Art Station.
- I began inking just the middle area with some Candied Apple Distress Oxide ink.
- I inked above and below with some Carved Pumpkin DOX ink and then finally some Mustard seed just along the top and bottom edges.
- After removing the stencil, I inked along the edges of the stenciled panel with more of the Mustard Seed ink.
- I took the stenciled panel and die cut the leaf from the center.
- I stamped the sentiment onto the leaf, then splattered the card with my black Posca pen.
- I glued the panel onto a piece of red cardstock, then onto an A2 card base.
- I tied a piece of twine around the stem of the leaf, then pop dotted it back into place on the card front.
