Leaves in a Jar Card with Clear Scraps and Darkroom Door

Hi guys!!!

I have a card for you showcasing the Jar Frame stamp by Darkroom Door 

and the Fall Leaves 12" stencil by Clear Scraps.  I love combining "like" products to create with.

The background is created using three different inks, stamped randomly on the rubber stamp and then stamped on the cardstock.  The leaves are stenciled on white cardstock and cut out.   More leaves are stenciled inside the jar ( and that was stamped on white cardstock and cut out).

Supplies used~

Clear Scraps: Fall Leaves 12" stencil

Darkroom Door: Jar Frame stamp, Fallen Leaves Background stamp, Tag set and Brushed Sentiments

Twine: Divine Twine/Whisker Graphics

Ink: Archival/Ranger and Tumble Dye/S.e.i.

Canvas prints with Clear Scraps!

Hi, Connie here with two stenciled examples, on canvas squares, using the 12" Sunflower by Clear Scraps.   I tried something new on my stenciling technique, a battery operated round stencil brush.  I love how it applied the acrylic paint and I love how it handled the stencil.  Let me show you~

The paint goes on so smooth and even.  Easy to add more color or add shading after the Sunflower is dry.  I continued to layer color on the Sunflower, using a stencil brush and sponges to apply the color to the leaves.  I used some distress inks to add color to the canvas.  I loved the 12" Chevron and the 12" Leaves stencil by Clear Scraps. After the leaves were added the canvas square had the Fall feel to it that I was trying to achieve.

Clear Scraps products:
12" Sunflower stencil, 12" Chevron stencil, 12" Fall Leaves stencil and  Bloom border stencil 
Other: acrylic paint, ink sprays, canvas and buttons,

Simple Blessings by S.E.I.~ A Pop-Up card !

Hi, Connie here with a fun Pop-Up card using the beautiful Simple Blessings Collection by S.E.I.  I love the fall colors in this collection, along with the die-cuts and stickers. So easy to create something beautiful when you start with something beautiful.

With a Pop-Up card it is all about what is inside the card.  I clustered the beautiful embellishments from the Simple Blessings Collection to create the inside of the card.

The front of the card is just as pretty using the Simple Blessings Collection.  I speckled the front and inside, of the card, with black Tumble Dye by S.E.I.

This is my last post for S.E.I. and I just wanted to say it has been a pleasure creating with your beautiful products. Thanks You for having me.
