And here are the instructions:

DIRECTIONS:
1)  Soap the back of the stencil.

2)  See the soap residue around the holes?  Brush it off with the large brush.

3)  Pour the Dazzlers on the stencil and push into place with your finger.

4)  Add additional glitter to fill in the areas left blank by the larger flakes--first ultrafine, then microfine.

5)  Brush off the excess glitter.
6)  Place project stencil side down and carefully remove the paper.
7)  Pour the Distress Embossing Powder over the background and push in with your finger.

8)  Clean and completely dry the stencil.
9)  Replace the stencil and tape in place all the way around the edge with removable tape.
10) Use the palette knife to place the embossing paste on the edge of the paste spreader.
11)  Pull the embossing paste across the stencil.

12)  Remove the stencil.
13)  While the paste is still wet, sprinkle clear glitter across the edges of the leaves.

14)  Let dry.
15)  Stamp the sentiment with Distress Ink on white card stock.
16)  Sprinkle with embossing powder.
17)  Flick off excess powder and heat set.
18)  Assemble the card.

When you see it close up, it is easy to see the dazzlers.

See how the project looks like frosted leaves?
