This one is using Dreamweaver Metallic Gold on black card and when dry a little gold glitter and a red stone added to the snowflake then a simple mat on red and a black card base - so simple! Sorry about the bad photo!
For this one, I inked through the stencil with a couple of Distress Inks, cleaned the stencil and made sure the ink was dry then replaced the stencil and used Sweet Poppy Translucent stencil paste which dries clear. Whilst still wet, I added glitter to the whole word. When dry, I mounted on some vellum then the blue card and added the white card candi. There is a bit more to this one bit its still quite simple.
I would like to enter the following challenges:
Darnell's Blog - NBUS No. 4 - (Never Before Used Schtuff) - my NBUS is the stencil which I have had for ages but never used, and the Translucent paste which I bought more recently.
Rudolph Days at Scrappymo's - Make a Christmas Card - Anything Goes
Please visit both these blogs, they are awesome!

Two beautiful cards. I did not know that you could use the clear stencil paste to mount glitter. Added that tidbit to my repertoire of info!
Thanks for sharing that technique.
Thank you for taking part in the March Rudolph days Challenge.
wow, you are going to be so far ahead of the game for Christmas, I'm jealous! Beautiful cards :)
WOW - two completely different looks from the one stencil. GREAT WORK.
I was wondering what to do with the translucent gel I was given . . . now I know! Thanks!

Oh my! Stencils and embossing paste! That's one of those things I always meant to try but somehow never got around to it (I have the supplies though). Love these two cards and that's two more done for Christmas! You rock!
Two beautiful cards, I particularly like the blue sparkly one.

Both are lovely but the black and gold has so much elegance, it's my favourite.
Great cards Christine!
Classic Beauties!
Both stunning in their own way. The black and gold so bold and the blue like icicles. Hugs Mrs A.
I like to use stencils and I like to use embossing paste...but my cards never turn out as nice as your two cards have here...So beautifully done!
These are stunning cards Chris. I love that stencil I must see if they still make it. Susan xx
Stunning cards, what a difference the colour scheme makes.
Looks like that stencils a lot of fun, stunning results, and such different effects. Xxx
That is amazing, isn't it? Thank you for this striking example, Chris! Both of your designs are spectacular with their own coloring. I really love the sparkle you captured on that beautiful blue one! Thank you so much for playing my NBUS Challenge #4, my friend! Hugs, Darnell
