Hey, friends! Just a quick post to share a card for this week's Make it Monday with Papertrey Ink. The challenge is to use reverse applique, and I couldn't resist giving it a try.
This card started with a Dark Chocolate card base, in which I die cut a window with Mat Stack 5. Behind that is a piece of Rustic Cream cardstock debossed with woodgrain and die cut with a maple leaf to create another "window". I added a piece of Terracotta Tile felt as the bottom layer to give the leaf a soft texture.
For the reverse applique, I stitched around the leaf with brown thread and around the Mat Stack with cream thread.
To finish the design, I stamped a sentiment from WPlus9's Season of Thanks onto a double ended banner and added some Terracotta button accents.
Cardstock: Papertrey Ink: Dark Chocolate, Rustic Cream
Stamps: WPlus9 Design Studio (Season of Thanks)
Ink: Stampin' Up! (Chocolate Chip)
Tools: Papertrey Ink (Mat Stack 5, Double Ended Banner die, Leaf die, Woodgrain impression plate)
