This card is for two of this week's challenges. The F4A451 hosted by Jeanne S. asked for using a stencil on a card. The CC708 hosted by Pam McKay includes the color combination of So Saffron, Garden Green, and Real Red. Dessert for this challenge also includes using a stencil.
To make the card, I first die cut three leaves from white cardstock, colored them, and attached them strategically to PTI yellow cardstock. Then I die cut the same three leaves from the same PTI yellow cardstock and discarded the leaves. I used the Hero Arts "The Woods" stencil and sponged a light gray ink over this panel. I used the same stencil to add Glass Bead Glitter Gel onto the panel. After the gel dried, I used this negative panel to attach over the colored leaves, raising the panel with foam tape. I used the gray ink in hopes it would make the gel show up more, and now I regret it as I don't like it as I thought I would.
There are mistakes on this card; however, this has been a bad week for me and getting the card made took energy from me. Unfortunately, I had a death in my family (i.e. lost a little baby) and was also dealing with the hurricane. Regardless, I got the card made and it fits perfectly for Jeanne's challenge.
