A Forest of Thanks

About this Project

This fun walk through an Autumn forest was inspired by today's Stencil Hop on Instagram. I picked up this gorgeous 5-layer stencil from Purple Pinky Promises, an adorable craft shop near Kansas City, MO, and I hadn't had a chance to use it until today's theme of "trees." It fit the theme perfectly! I used 5 different William Morris inks, one on each layer, working from the lightest layer in the back to the darkest layer (tree trunks & branches) in the front. This stencil was super easy to use and--even better--super easy to CLEAN! Love a stencil that doesn't fight me at bath time... LOL! I used one of my inks to just ink up the edges of my card base, then die cut the stenciled panel using a Winnie & Walter scalloped layout die. To finish it off, I wrapped a few strings of twine around the spine of the card, tied them into a bow, and added a sentiment topper from my stash. Easy, peasy! This whole card came together in about 15 minutes! If you were inspired by this project, please consider using my affiliate links when shopping (no charge to you!). Thank you!!
