In addition to the Fall Folk dies used here, I purchased the Fall Folk stencil from The Greetery. Like the dies, I can see this stencil used in many seasons beyond fall depending on the colors you choose. For this first card with the stencils, I opted for a color palette of teal, red, and orange, not at all what I might choose if I wanted a fall palette.
I used both ink cubes and cardstock from Concord and 9th: three hues of the teal, two of red, and one for the orange.
Because the stencil creates a rather busy pattern, I decided not to add any embellishments after adding a gold foiled sentiment from Pinkfresh Studio's Perfect Sentiments. I cut down the stencil with one of Hero Art's Infinity Rounded Rectangles, and then die cut the next two layers of Juniper and Marmalade cardstock to add a bit more color before adding it add to a Tidepool card base.
It's been a busy weekend here--two memorial services (for me), and a three day celebration for Tracy's high school graduating class. It's been a small gathering--about 40 in all, but fun for Tracy to reconnect with friends he made in high school and for me to reconnect with a few I've known for quite some time as well as to get to know a few I don't believe I've ever met before.
Sending this card to Darnell's NBUS blog to share my NBUS Fall Folk stencil.
