Autumn Floral 'HI' Card

Hello my crafty friends. Today I'm sharing my first play with the Autumn Array layering stencils from Taylored Expressions. They were released last year, I believe - but I just recently added them to my craft room. The HI is also new - it's from Studio Katia's latest release - there is a stamp set, a die to cut out the large HI and also the large HI in a hot foil stamp! WOOT ... had to get them - I'll get lots of use out of them. 

In addition to the HI hot foil stamp, I used Pink Fresh Studio's Hot Foil Nested Hexagons. When you are foiling, you have to use a very smooth cardstock. Since I hadn't anticipated foiling when I did the stencilling, I just used my regular white cardstock. You can see it didn't foil completely, and instead looks a little 'worn'. I used my usual matte coated cardstock for the HI, though, and it foiled beautifully!

 

The plaid patterned paper is long retired, but I will link a few others for you. This card is larger than A2, it's a 5 x 6.5" card and envelope set that I bought at Michaels several years ago. Oh, and the sentiment on the front is from Taylored Expressions and also linked below. 

Inside I added another hexagon, this time stamped with a set from Gina K.

While I had the stencils out anyhow, I ended up creating 4 panels with them. I put one aside for another day but completed three cards - this one is the first. The others will be shared later this month.
