I've got all my assignments done for this month, so I'll be finishing it off with some Thanksgiving cards. Today I'm playing with an old favorite Taylored Expressions stamp and stencil set called Fall Foliage Background. Instead of stamping, this time I utilized the matching Foil It background panels, which foil the skeleton leaves.
You start with one of the panels, foil it in your laminator, then use the 3-piece stencil set to color in the details. I enjoy this process so much that I made 3 cards. The twinkle from these across the room is a sweet little surprise.
Here are my individual photos of each card. I used copper/orange foil on this first one.
supplies: white and Orange Peel cardstock, Taylored Expressions Fall Foliage Foil It panel, Copper Deco Foil, Fall Foliage Background Stencils, ripe persimmon, peeled paint, and vintage photo distress inks, Nested Rectangle and Circle dies, sentiment from Gina K Designs Autumn Wreath Builder
I used gold foil on the other 2 cards.
supplies: purple cardstock, vellum, Fall Foliage Foil It panel, Gold Deco Foil, Fall Foliage Background stencils, persimmon, wilted violet distress inks, Chamomile ink, Spellbinders Hemstitch rectangle die, sentiment from Sunny Studio Autumn Greetings, clear embossed, (retired) Impression Obsession leaves, twine, tiny heart sprinkle
On this card I lifted the background above the card front.
supplies: Sunshine and Burnt Orange cardstock, Fall Foliage Foil It panel, Gold Deco Foil, Fall Foliage Background stencils, mustard seed, carved pumpkin, and crackling campfire distress inks, (retired) Neat and Tangled Maple Leaf Thanks die, sentiment from (retired) Simon Says Stamp Autumn Blessings, gold heart sprinkle, adhesive foam
Thanks for visiting today. Do you send out cards for Thanksgiving?

Wow - love the shiny veins on your leafy cards, Lin - each so different and gorgeous! I do just a few Thanksgiving cards to immediate family - they're all out in the mail already but I'll share some on a Thanksgiving Day post.
