I had just gotten a new jar of Viva Glitter Paste, so it was a great time to try it out for this challenge. Here's what I came up with:
I started by blending my background first with Gina K's Applemint ink, and then used a Penny Black stencil (Petite Blossoms) and the same ink color to create the leafy background. Without removing my stencil I added the Glitter Paste and then quickly removed it to let it dry. Here's a closer up so you can see the sparkle better:
This card has some serious sparkle going on and it's even prettier IRL!! I made this card into a sympathy card with a PTI sentiment and a Poppystamps die cut (Massa Leaf Background).
This really is a FUN way to use stencils and I even made another one using a sunburst stencil, but haven't had time to make it into a card yet. Check out all the FABULOUS inspiration from the DT, and they also have links to several videos if you've never used pastes or gels with your stencils...you can find it all right HERE. This challenge is open till the 24th.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
