I love love love these stencils and not going to lie I will be using them a lot!
I started with using one of the stencils to create a template for some zentangle patterns – I haven’t done this for ages but loved it!
I then used some grey alcohol markers to enhance the leaves!
I mounted the panel onto black and then onto an orange card base with rusty coloured cardstock as a border. I also added a little ribbon tag to add some texture and some gems.
I then added the sentiment from my stash to finish off!
Ok next I went with ink blending to create my own paper … and I went with autumnal colours.
Once I’d added the leaves and the detail of the veins I then found a sentiment in the happy cottage stamps to add the embossing and then lots of splattered water to which I also added embossing. I also added a light layer of ink blending across the full panel.
Then I created a bow from some thread and added a second sentiment from the stash on top with dimension.
Finally I went with a very light application of ink through the maple stencil (my favourite leaf!).
I used pink and orange tones and then added a rub on from the floral card kit (again this is something I’ve not shared with you yet!)
I added the panel to the green cardstock and then added a wrap of the two threads for a fun but delicate bows.
Then I added the panel to a small notecard – I chose to offset it – then added the sparkly peach gems for finishing off!
Happy crafting!
