I was thrilled to find out this overdue honor. This card was chosen as a Highlight by Use Your Stuff Challenge #430. It was still very encouraging.

Hi Artsy Friend,

It’s time to play along with Happy Little Stampers Stencil Challenge again. The September Challenge Theme remains to be Anything Goes.       

For Challenge Rules and other DT’s inspirations, please check out the Challenge Blog. Please join us for the fun. I can’t wait to see what you have come up with.  

This month I challenged myself to play Stenciling with Paste and Glitter. I must say the sparkling leaves are awesomely gorgeous. 

It’s still very hot and humid here in Taiwan. But I’m ready for the autumn. Hope my card is inspirational to you. Thanks for stopping by and have a pleasant day. 

Card Details

1. Stamp sentiment background (Stampin’ Up) on a white card panel.

2. Apply various Distress Oxide Inks over stencil (Simon Says Stamp) on sentiment background panel.

3. Apply Translucent Embossing Paste over stencil. While the paste is still wet, sprinkle Clear Rock Candy Distress Glitter on card panel. Let dry.

4. Die cut maple leave (Tim Holtz, Sizzix). Apply various Distress Oxide inks on leave. Heat Emboss text (Simon Says Stamp) in black.

5. Stamp and heat emboss sentiment (Thinking of You, Simon Says Stamp) in white on a black card scrap. Sponge Distress Oxide Ink (Ground Espresso) on panel edges. Assemble the card as shown. It's a shame that the photo couldn't show the sparkling shine.
