Autumn Leaves in Stenciled Plaid

To do the reverse stenciling technique, start with a piece of Basic White cardstock. Then, add 3-4 colors of ink using a blending brush. For this card, I used Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, and Poppy Parade.

Then, lay one of the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks over the cardstock. I like to adhere the edges with tape so it doesn't move. Then, add a darker color. For this handmade card, I used Cajun Craze. Add a second mask and a darker shade like the Early Espresso that I used on this card.
