Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Thanksgiving Card

1. Gather Your Supplies

Start by collecting the Pretty Petals Layering Stencil Set, a selection of ink pads in warm colors like burnt orange, golden yellow, and deep brown, and a blank card. Keep some washi tape or magnets handy to secure your stencils while you work.

2. Create Your Floral Background

Select the first stencil from the Pretty Petals set and position it on your card. Use your washi tape. a sticky mat or magnets to hold it in place. With a blending tool, apply the first layer of ink, then lift the stencil to reveal your design.

A recommended layering technique is to choose two light colors followed by a deep hue for contrast. This method can enhance the visual appeal, making your floral backdrop the perfect representation of Thanksgiving spirit.

3. Personalize with Sentiments

The Alice's Story Autumn Memories stamp set offers warm sentiments that express your gratitude, adding a special touch to your card.
