ARTplorations Stencil Blog Hop - Day 2



It's Day 2 for the ARTplorations Stencil Hop.

For this card, I used the Christmas Reindeer stencil, along with the Holly Background stencil.

I sponged on the background, and then using gold embossing paste, I layered right over the top.  After letting the first layer dry, I applied a second layer so that the background didn't show through quite so much.  I added my mc and a couple of framing layers.  I adhered the panels onto my card base, and I have another Christmas card completed. The best part, it is easy for mailing since it is flat.

Now, to see the rest of the projects, click HERE.  Remember, there are lots of prizes to be won.  You can find out all about them when you click on the here.  [Don't forget to comment!]

I won't be participating tomorrow, but I will be back on Friday with another stenciled card.


Thanks for stopping by~
