Happy Thanksgiving Foliage

Hello crafty friends, Raquel here today! I want to share a colorful project I made using the recently released Layered Apples Stencil.

I must admit, I felt in love with all the layered stencils from this release. They are simply perfect to create colorful designs in no time. I particularly love the process of choosing colors, mixing and matching and lifting the stencil for the final reveal!

I wanted to create a monochromatic background with red and pink apples. I used Moroccan Spice, Fire Coral and Poppin’ Pink ins from MFT.

First, I applied Moroccan Spice on the left-hand side of each apple. I went in a diagonal order to save some time. Then I applied Fire coral and Poppin’ Pink making sure I left a small spot white so I could have some high lights on the apples. 

Next up I colored the leaves and the small stem using Jalapeño Popper and Vintage Photo Distress Ink. Once my background was ready I decided to use and A2 size piece of vellum onto the background to create a wreath.

I used the Valentine Circles coordinating die as the center of my wreath. Then I stamped the Happy Thanksgiving sentiment and foam mounted it in the center. I used several dies from the Fall Basket set to create my wreath in different colors and arranged them all around the circle:

I hope this card inspires you to create with these fun, unique and gorgeous products! Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hugs, Raquel
