Concord and 9th just brought out some new Turnabouts for fall, and this time they're stencils!! AND you get 2 different designs in the package! I jumped as soon as it became available at Simon, and here is my first play with them. I splurged and bought the matching stamps and dies that all work together in this Autumn Hues collection.
supplies: ivory and Audrey Blue cardstock, Concord & 9th Autumn Hues wreath stencil,stamp set, and dies, peacock feathers, fired brick, and mustard seed oxide ink, vintage photo distress ink, adhesive foam squares
I used the wreath stencil and 4 inks, and stencilled right onto my card base. Then I used the stamp set and the matching dies for my sentiment, and popped it above the card.
For both of my cards today I used my new Brutus Monroe Stick and Stamp mat, and it worked beautifully! I highly recommend it!
Next I tried the background stencil.

The stamp set has a really nice mix of sentiments for fall and Thanksgiving, plus the little heart and leaves you see on the first card, and a few tiny leaves for embellishing, and the die set has a banner and 2 nesting labels, plus leaves in 2 sizes for cutting from each of the stencils, so you're set for the season with this bundle!
I don't know what is so pleasing about working with turnabouts, maybe the option to try all kinds of color combinations. Since this is a turnabout set with a fall theme, I know I'll be using these lots going forward!
LOVE your colors! But please do NOT encourage autumn-- I want summer to stay a bit longer :)
