Autumn Grid Thank You Card

For my first card using the Autumn Build a Wreath stamp set from Clarity, I made another Thank You card, but used a more unconventional layout.
Die cut a topper from Clarity stencil card using the largest nested square die and a mat from black card using the corresponding picot die.
Add the Framework squares stencil to the topper at an angle.
Blend Distress inks through the apertures in Mustard Seed, Scattered Straw, Carved Pumpkin, Tea Dye and Rusty Hinge. Remove the stencil.
Hand draw lines around the edge of each box – use a 08 micron pen and make them jagged.
Add the Thank You Bijou Ribbon Sentiment to the centre square in Jet Black Archival ink.
Mask off round one square. Add stamps from the Autumn Build a Wreath stamp set in red, orange, yellow and brown Archival inks. Remove the masking.
Move the masking around each of the other squares in turn and repeat the stamping.
Mask and add stamping in the larger corners and triangular sections in the same way.
Add the toadstool stamp below the sentiment in the same ink.
To finish, mat up the topper and add to the front of a 7” x 7” white card blank.
