Here's what I made...
This card uses 3 stencils. One is quite subtle so it's hard to see in the picture. First I took my patterned paper (the words are actually gold foil) and stenciled the reindeer (Christmas Reindeer stencil) in black. Then using the Nestled Circles stencil I lightly sponged on sea glass ink (SSS) around the reindeer image. Using a variety of mixed media stamps (Mixed Media Elements set) I stamped around the reindeer image in the following ink colours: Vistorian Velvet Distress ink, SSS Sea Glass, Dove Gray StazOn, and Delicata Golden Glitz. Next, I stenciled the holly using a portion of the Holly Background stencil using Cottage Ivy ink (Memento). I splattered some watered down Broken China Distress ink and spritzed some Heirloom Gold Perfect Pearls Mist. I added some bling to the holly, colouring it pink with a Spectrum Noir marker and also added a trimmed strip of teal glitter tape. I die cut a snowflake (Echo Park) and attached it to my panel. Lastly, I attached my panel to a kraft card base.
Check out what the rest of the team made! You'll find links to all our projects here.
Hope you all come join in on the fun! Have an awesome day and thanks for stopping by!
