Hi Crafters,
It's time to share another Christmas card for the CCC and our theme this time was chosen by Carol.
'Use a Stencil'
I only have a few stencils but this metal Dreamweaver stencil looked perfect for the card I had in mind. Firstly I used embossing paste through the stencil on to the navy card stock and sprinkled glitter strands on top before it dried - I liked the effect it produced.
Then I cut a Joy Crafts Winter Wishes Circle Star Die and Memory Box Reindeer Die from white glitter card and popped them up on foam dots in front of the trees for my winter night scene.
