Magenta Super Saturday - Layered Stencils

Welcome back to my blog and Magenta Super Saturday.  You can also see today’s card on Magenta’s blog here.

For today’s card I decided to layer two stencils, Wavy Texture and Maple Leaf Trio.  I began by taping the Wavy Texture stencil to a piece of white, 110# cardstock that measured 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  I applied Antique Linen Distress Oxide ink through the stencil and set it aside to dry.  Next, I stamped the sentiment in the lower right corner using Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide ink, then embossed with clear embossing powder. 

I placed the Maple Leaf stencil on top of the cardstock so that one of the leaves was in a corner.  I used blending brushes to apply Distress Oxide inks.  I used Crushed Olive, Mowed Lawn, Fired Brick and Wild Honey to shade the first leaf.  Before removing the stencil, I inked a section of the Water Drops stamp with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink and stamped over the leaf.  I removed the stencil and embossed the image with Iridescent Sparkle embossing powder.  I moved the stencil and inked another leaf, but this time used Fired Brick ink to stamp the water drops on the leaf.  I moved the stencil and repeated the process several times to fill in the background. 

After I added all the leaves, I used the corner of the Water Drops stamp to add some water drops randomly around the leaves. 

I cut the image down to 3 ¾” x 5”, added it to a piece of brown cardstock that was cut to 4” x 5 ¼”, then adhered them to the front of a white A2 card.
