Build a Plaid!

 Wendy Vecchi has a really fun new release out at Spellbinders which she calls "Not Your Ordinary Card Collection".  Today I'm playing with a set of stencils that she designed that helps you to make a plaid background.


supplies: cream cardstock, Build a Plaid stencil set, warm colors of distress inks and blending brushes, Fall Thoughtulness stamps and matching dies

The stencil set has 5 different stencils, and you can use all of them or just a few, to build a simple design or a more complex one.  A hint I have for using stencils like this is to start with a light colored cardstock and build on that.  

Plaid is a natural for fall cards, so I added a bouquet of autumn leaves and a sentiment from a set from last year called Fall Thoughtfulness.  

Thank you so much for stopping by today - enjoy your day!
