Thoughtful Fall

As we officially head into the holiday season, the Dreamweaver Stencils Dream Team is challenging all of our followers to be especially "Thankful and Thoughtful" during the month of November. We hope that you will link your creations with this theme in mind on the Dream It Up! blog using the Inlinkz tool. Our "thanks" to you is providing you with the opportunity to win the stencil of your choice, and a bonus stencil of our choosing could be yours for using Dreamweaver product(s) in your artwork. I'm posting this for you today:

Here's what I used to create this card:

Dreamweaver Stencils© LJ 874 Fall Borders

Inky Antics® Every Leaf Fluttering

Authentique™ 6x6 Bundle Thankful Collection

ColorBox® Fluid Chalk Petal Point® Inks - Autumn Pastels

Tim Holtz® Distress Ink - Tea Dye

Here's what I did to create this card:

Tape stencil down onto natural white cover stock, using stencil brushes, ink design

Trim stenciled image to desired size

Stamp sentiment, die cut and stencil leaves over sentiment

Using a stiff flat brush, add detail to leaves on both images

Die cut mat for sentiment and adhere the two together

Create card base from green cardstock

Adhere main stenciled image to card base

Trim ribbon, attach to card

Using foam squares, attach matted sentiment to card base over the ribbon

By the way, the Dream Team is very THANKFUL when our followers are THOUGHTFUL enough to leave us a nice comment on our posts! Here's the "A" team lineup for this week, as well as our very special guest designer, Linda Neff!
