Hello, I am up with a card project over at Rubber Dance blog today again. For this card I used the Leaves 2 stencil and Autumn Leaves and Mix It Up 7 stamp sets. I got this idea while creating the “Hello Fall” art journal page. I was left with a stencil that had ink residue on both sides of it. I didn´t want to waste the ink, so I used it for this card background.

I like the soft look of it. Remember, the Distress Inks I used were ripe persimmon, forest moss, peeled paint and mustard seed. Those are quite strong colors on their own. But the “second image” of them turned out very soft.

I again added some golden pigments onto the surface. Then stamped the brown image with Distress Oxide walnut stain tone for contrast. I had some watercolor style stamped Autumn Leaves left, so I created a focal point with them and a paper sunflower. A handwritten word added for sentiment and the card was done in no time.

Here is the full step-by-step for you to watch. Enjoy!

I hope you get inspired to play a little with Rubber Dance stencils!
Happy creating!
xx, Sanna
