Hi everyone! I am excited to be featured this month over on the STAMPlorations Blog for the Stencil Sunday series
I transformed my white texture paste into a nice green by swiping some lucky clover Distress Oxide onto my media mat and mixing in the white texture paste. This is an easy way to create colored texture paste for any project.
Once I was happy with the color, I used a pallet knife to spread the texture paste through the stencil.
I also added a strip of green glitter washi tape to make it a bit more festive. This is a good way to cover up any boo boo's you may have along the way as well.
Then using my MISTI, I stamped a sentiment on the top as well as under the tree using the stamp set called Hello Christmas. I used coordinating green ink for my sentiments.
I finished off the card by layering it onto some Green card stock and adding it to a white card base.
I love that this stencil has two trees so I can make to different cards using the same stencil. When I added the texture paste to this stencil, I covered up the gold star. Once my texture paste was dry, I re layered the stencil and used a distress crayon to add the star.
