Winter Leaves for Just Us Girls 781

Happy Sunday – again!

I have a quick post for you today featuring the Waffle Flower Winter Leaves sencil and Hot Foil dies.  I saw this great challenge across at Just Us Girls.  The challenge calls for us to use stencils.  So my entire card – except for the frame was creataed from stencils.  I just love the leaves and berries in the Winter Leaves set.  Here's a sneak peek:

I used four different colors of green for the laves and added a touch of dark blue for more depth, cleaning my stencil between each application.  For the berries I used 3 different inks, a red, a mulberry and a yellow/orange.  Once the items were all stenciled I ran them through my Glimmer machine to add the details of the stems, leaves and the tops of the berries.  I then die-cut them with the matching dies.

I then used my favorite chevron stencil to create a background to help ground the leaves and berries.  I die-cut three layers of the frame and glued them together.  I tucked the leaves under the frames and added a sentiment.

Here's my full card:

I love that the leaves are versatile enough that you can use them for something other than a Christmas card!

I'll be back tomorrow with another card.  In the meantime, warm hugs and prayers for those of who who need a little lift tonight.

Hugs
