My Christmas creation this week combines some of my very favorite products with the Double Glitter Technique. If you would like to recreate this, follow a few simple steps. First, soap up the back of the stencil
LG 708 with the
Handmade Hawaiian Soap. Brush the soap crumblies off with a
large stencil brush. Then, place it on exposed adhesive of
Double Sided Mounting Paper. Next, put red pearls into the holes for berries.
Stampee Foil goes on the gold beaks and the green leaves. It is easy. Just put the foil dull side down over the area where you want it and press it down with your fingers or an
embossing sylus. Then, pull the foil off. The branches are
Ultrafine Opaque Art Glitter in 58 Brown. You can sprinkle a little on the stencil and push it in with your finger. Then, use
Stampendous Fun Flock in Plain Ol' Black over the whole thing. When using the flock, you need to use quite a bit and push it down hard to make it look plush. Then, brush off the excess well, so that it doesn't migrate when you remove the stencil. Put the whole thing stencil side down on a flat surface and carefully peel the paper off, keeping the stencil flat. Cover the whole thing in
Ultrafine Transparent Glitter in 85 Crystal.
That is it. It was great fun. Now, it is your turn.
