Thankful, for your Kindness

Hi Crafty Friends,
Is it feeling like fall yet where you are? Fall is one of my favorite seasons and I created a card to show how grateful I am for fall and friends featuring Brass & Bliss Autumn Gnomes 35026 and Brass & Bliss Thank you 36057. This month the Design Team is showing off different techniques for their blog posts so I chose to do stenciling.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: What is your favorite color leaf?
A: Me? Yellow

 

Step #1: I started my card by creating my background using the Brass & Bliss Fan Leaves Stencil 4212 on kraft paper with Brass & Bliss Color Fuse Set #3 Pecan.

 

Step #2: I stamped my sentiments from the Thank you Stamp set and die cut them from the matching dies on white cardstock.

 

Step #3: I used Brass & Bliss Mixable Flower Stack Dies 5109D to create matching sunflowers to what the little gnome is holding.

Step #4: I finished my card by arranging my stamped images and sentiments in the center of my card and added the flowers in various places around them. I put little enamel brown dots in the centers of my flower to make them look more like Sunflowers.
