First off - Simon's October Release called Make Merry is available now! You can check it all out HERE <-------click! ALSO - I have a current $5 off coupon too - use the code CZY444 to get $5 off purchases of $5 or more (not valid on previous purchases, card kits or card kit subscriptions and can't be combined with other codes). SO MUCH awesomeness. I'm totally overwhelmed and don't know where to dive in first as usual.
That said I DID dive in and make a card (2 actually) for this week's Color Throwdown Challenge:
You can check out what the rest of the design team created with these colors HERE <------click! plus play along too if you'd like!
Here's what I made:
I used the new Falling Leaves Layering Stencil set to make the backgrounds. There are FIVE stencils in the set - 4 layer together to make up all the elements and then one stencil is just everything together (which I used on the inside and you'll see it in a second). I ink blended several Concord & 9th inks over the stencil layers to create the background, then splattered them with the inks as well as with gold watercolor from the Starry Colors palette.
I die cut and stacked the words from the new Warm Hugs wafer die set using Simon's Royal Purple card stock and added them to the outline that I die cut from Neenah Desert Storm card stock.
I used the "main" stencil from the Falling Leaves Layering Stencils on the inside of the cards. The companion sentiment on the card front and on the insides are from the Thanks Sentiment Strips pack that I blended the same C9 inks on and that was it!
