I saw this stencil being used by Shari Carroll a while back and thought it made an interesting background. Here's my first card with it.
supplies: white, rust, and Dark Chocolate cardstock, Tim Holtz String stencil, carved pumpkin, ripe persimmon, mustard seed, and barn door distress inks, blending brushes, sentiment from (retired) The Craft's Meow Golden Days, Impression Obsession leaf die, adhesive foam to lift leaves
Doesn't this stencil have all kinds of fun possibilities? I also used my new Taylored Expressions blending brushes to blend these inks, and I'm in love! The same inks were used to color a scrap of white cardstock before I cut out the leaves from it.
Thanks for stopping by today!
Wonderful! The colours are great...
