Hello crafty friends ...
I'm back today with another holiday Slimline card and this one features one of the cute Gnomes from Riley & Company.
I have a walk through of my card on YouTube and I show my hand made snowflake stencil.
When I went to add a little Wink of Stella to his beard though, I had a 'Wink of Stella Explosion.' That was totally my fault as I had overfilled my Wink of Stella pen. When it gets low, you can add a little water to rejuvenate it and get a little more use from your Wink of Stella ... but if you overfill it -- be ready for some sparkly BLOBS. Ha.
Rather than waste all that shimmer by blotting it up with a tissue - I spread it around with a paintbrush and in the end I liked the effect.
The little snowflake from the Sleigh Pop Up worked perfectly as a stencil and I was able to place my snowflakes where I wanted them as well as vary the depth of colour. It helped make those white panels a little less stark.
