Addicted to Stamps & More Challenge #510 - Die Cuts and Stencils

I decided to pull out a mix of supplies for the latest challenge over on the Addicted to Stamps & More Blog. Aside from the “sweet home” sentiment, everything on this card fits perfectly with the die cuts and stencils theme! It turned out to be a fun, fall-inspired design to share with a friend who just purchased a new home.

I started with an Altenew embossing folder background to add some texture and visual interest. Next, I inked up a few Altenew die-cut leaves, a flower, and a pumpkin for that cozy autumn feel. The “home” sentiment and matching roof die (from Papertrey Ink) were each cut four times and stacked together for extra dimension.

To complete the sentiment, I heat embossed the remaining words in rich brown embossing powder for a warm, seasonal touch. A few gold sequins sprinkled around the card finished everything off with just the right amount of shine.

I'm looking forward to seeing your card in the ATS&M challenge gallery! 

Thanks for stopping by my blog.  In kindness, Cathy
