Stay Crafty with Hero Challenge #27
Hi crafty friends! It's time for another Stay Crafty With Hero challenge! This month we are challenging you to use your stencils! You can use stencils with ink blending, embossing or glitter pastes, dry embossing...the sky's the limit! We'll include all of the details further down this post; but first, here's a cheery card from Jess to kick off our newest challenge.
Hi crafty friends! Jess here with a card for our new Stay Crafty with Hero challenge! I am SO ready for fall and the new Fall Leaves stencil was perfect for this month's challenge!
To start I used blending brushes to very lightly blend Lemon Drop, Creamsicle, and Fruit Punch Reactive inks onto a panel of Dove White cardstock. Then I taped the Fall Leaves stencil over the panel and blended the same three colors with a slightly heavier hand. Finally I rotated the stencil and shifted it slightly and then blended the same three colors with an even heavier hand.
While the panel was drying I die-cut the Autumn Leaves Fancy Dies from Papaya, Cherry, and Fall Glitter cardstock. I also stamped a sentiment from Autumn Messages onto Pitch Black cardstock with Embossing & Watermark ink and heat-embossed it with Gold Embossing Powder. I adhered the stenciled panel to a top-folding Dove White card base and then arranged my leaves around my sentiment. I popped the sentiment up with foam mounting tape for a little dimension and that's it!

Hi Dawn – Yes, all project types are welcome as long as stenciling is used in some way! Thanks for checking!
I wonder if it would be ok to submit something that’s not a card?
What a beautiful fall card! I must have that stencil now.I really like your choice of black with all the brightness. I would struggle with that. My brain would say a coordinating color to what’s already there. I tend to paralyze myself. Thank you for the inspiration. Gorgeous card!
