I started by using Taylored Expressions Fall Foliage Background stamp and stencils using SU!'s Pumpkin Pie, Terracotta Tile (for the deeper orange), and Old Olive inks. Then came the scary part of cutting the pretty stenciled and stamped (the stamp inks up the leaf veins) panel on a diagonal and then attaching to a vellum card base.
I used a skinny strip of Pumpkin Pie cs to delineate between the stamped area and vellum and it also worked perfect to add my sentiment from SSS's Tiny Words stamp set. Next I used The Greetery's BotaniCuts: Mighty Oak dies to cut the leaves and veins in both white and also Pumpkin Pie & Old Olive, and then pop dotted them to the card front. I also added some glitter to the veins so they would stand out a bit more, and a small piece of Old Olive ribbon (SU!) to the center of the cluster.
Here's a photo of the card standing up so you get a better idea of what the partial part of vellum looks like with the stamped and stenciled portion showing through from the inside of the card. Just a little something different to try, and I love how it turned out!

Oh, Marcia, what a fabulous card! Every card you make is special but this one outshines them all! Your take of the technique is beautiful in every way. What a labor of love with the perfect stenciling and stamped leaves. I appreciate the third photo showing the inside. Loved having you play at Color Hues!
ReplyDeleteOh, wow, thanks for the full explanation and the extra photo of this wonderful fall card! Of course, I could just watch the video (and I will), but now I totally get it. I'm thinking this would be a great way to use some patterned paper, too. Love your oak leaves for accent, and your colors are so warm and softly shaded.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love the fabulous stenciled background! Thank you so much for playing along with us over at the Color Hues Challenge!
