Hello ladies, and here we are with Rachels choice for this Challenge, to use Stencils.
My stencil is from Sweet poppy, and is called Mistletoe Tree. I made my own glitter stencil paste, using Translucent paste and mixing in a pale green glitter. This is a really good way of glittering stencils, as you get all the glitter, but because it's mixed into the paste, there is no shedding. It's also way cheaper than buying small pots of pre-made glitter paste!
The sentiment is back to me using up my peel off stash, added to a thin die cut label.
I added a few half pearls to some of the design.
And thats my contribution for this challenge.
Not sure how many cards I have now, but suspect I'm well into next years supply!

What a great mistletoe tree Shaz. And an excellent tip to make your own coloured glitter paste. Far more economical - meaning more money to spend on other goodies ... lol. Hugs Shaz x
That’s a gorgeous stencil Shaz and I love your idea of making your own glitter paste...I have just thrown away lots of pots that have gone solid....
Take care xxx
Three beautiful cards Shaz. Love the colours of the glitters and paste mixed. Like you I have too many now but I’ll give some to the local hospice as the patients there can’t get out and they do love choosing a few cards. I’ll need to check this year as maybe they’re not accepting cards under the circumstances. Enjoy your Evening. Hugs Rita xxxx
