I think it's no secret that I really like to stencil and color on kraft cardstock all year long, and even more during the Fall season. So that's what I did on today's card, with, of course, a good mix & match of brand new and previously released products.

I started off by cutting a 5,5 x 4,25 inches panel out of kraft cardstock by Lawn Fawn. I like this cardstock a lot when it comes to color on kraft, I find that the colors blend very well on it. And I created a simple but super cute and colorful pattern on my panel using the Layered Leaf Lattice stencils. I used the stencil #1 along with vintage photo oxide ink to create the stitched lines. And I used the stencil #2 along with candied apple, rusty hinge, fossilized amber, peeled paint and peacock feathers oxide inks to add colorful leaves to my background. I mixed some vintage photo oxide ink with water, and used a small brush to add splatters all over my panel, and I did the same with copic opaque white ink.

While my panel was drying, I stamped my images on kraft cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, cut them all using the matching dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and my Graph'it brush markers.

Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Fall Harvest - sunflower arrangement, acorn, oak leaf • Fall Icons - scarecrow, sunflower, moth, acorn • Spring Robins - branch • Fall Jar - moth, mouse, oak leaf • Valentine Train - locomotive, wagon, smoke.

I cut a large Eyelet Oval panel out of some brown gingham pattern paper from my stash, and attached it right in the middle of my Layered Leaf Lattice panel using 1mm foam squares. And next I stuck all my images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. I white heat embossed my "Autumn greetings" sentiment from Sentiment Strips: Fall on dark brown cardstock, trimmed it into a slim banner using a Sentiment Strips die, and attached it right below the train using foam squares again. And as always, I finished my card with highlights and details on the images using a white gel pen.
