Happy Wednesday! Welcome to another challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday blog!
Since it's the end of the month, it's our traditional "Anything Goes" this week; the design team are playing with Lawn Fawn products, and if you have any, we'd love to see you use them, too.
It has been so hot here that I am pining for the coolness of fall, so I pulled out some favorite Lawn Fawn dies and here's my card for this week:
supplies: ivory and dark chocolate cardstock, vellum, Lawn Fawn Stitched Leaves die, lots of distress inks in fall colors, Lawn Fawn Scripty Hugs die, Winnie & Walter Big, Bold Seasons sentiment, embossed in white, Simon's Stitched Rectangles die, foam squares
To make my card, I die-cut 6 maple leaves and set them aside. Then I used the negative image of that leaf to "stencil" it across my card front using distress inks. I also used watered-down distress inks to splatter some of the same colors on my card. Then I sponged color on my die-cut leaves. These were affixed to a vellum stitched rectangle panel, along with my sentiments, and then that vellum panel was lifted above my card base with foam squares.

Beautiful Lin. Great idea to use the negative as a stencil. The colours are great and love the way you added it to the vellum rectangle.
ReplyDeleteMy gooooodness! This card is TOTALLY drool-worthy. Definitely Pinning this! I love the splattery background and somehow that vellum overlay is the perfect way to separate the leaves from the foreground to the background. GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteHi Lin,
ReplyDeleteThis is just gorgeous with so many fabulous details! I absolutely love the stenciled background and the vellum is perfect choice for layering.
Beautiful background with your homemade stencil, and LOVE those fall leaves! It's time to start thinking about fall cards, I guess. Such a lovely time of year. Your cards are all so beautiful and artfully created. I'm so glad I stopped by!
