Plaid stenciling for Christmas

Hello everyone. I had a some crafty time today so that I could finish a Christmas card for a couple of challenges.

I created my background by applying embossing paste through a Plaid stencil (Joanna Sheen). Next, I added a few sprinkles of embossing powder in gold and silver and heat set it, being careful not to let the paste bubble too much.

I finished my card by adding some elements from my UFO box and adhering the panel to my A2 card base. 

I'm playing at:

CAS Christmas - Plaid


ABC Christmas - S for Stencil

ATSM - #414 Any occasion

The 12 months of Christmas - #81 AG Christmas 
(option: add something metallic)

HLS Christmas - AG Christmas

  10. I love the embossing paste on the card front and your use of the embossing powder. Sometimes you don't want the embossing paste to bubble up. Beautiful card.
