Blessed

The fun thing about being caught up on design team projects is that I'm free to create something "just for the joy of creating" and combine products from as many different companies as I want! I spent part of my Labor Day afternoon creating this vibrant autumn card using products from Papertrey Ink and Tim Holtz.

The background was stenciled with the weathered tiles stencils and then embossed with the woven embossing folder. The leaves and sentiment were cut from watercolor paper, inked with distress inks, and then I added some splatters to the foliage.

I am with you wanting to create using what I want to use together, it is so freeing to work that way. Love the tile effect look of your background and the foliage is lovely with it, perfect sentiment for Thanksgiving!

I went and just now ordered a few things from PTI including the stencil you used. It's fab and provides such a lovely background. Thanks for the inspiration. Hope you're having a blessed week.
