AAA Challenge #17 - Stenciling

It's AAA Challenge time.  This week is stenciling.  It is such a huge trend that has been around for awhile now.  You can tell how popular it is because of it's length as a trend.

For my card I have done a few techniques using the stencils.  I self cut out my leaf stencil and then sponged with it.  I used a circle stencil over the top of the leaves with embossing paste and before it dried, I shook glitter over the dots.  I added my 3 layer Hello, and this pup is done.  It looks so pretty IRL with the sparkly glittered dots :).

Now, you have no excuse not to play - I gave you all kinds of ideas on using [making] stencils. :)  We hope you join in over at AAA Challenge!



Thanks for stopping by~

Vibrant green leaves, glittery dots, a triple layered sentiment = one most pretty, eye-catching card! And you're right: no excuse not to play!

Love your embossed dots, keep meaning to get some paste but always baulk at the cost.
