On mixed media cs, I went over the stencil with white embossing paste and then while the paste was still wet, carefully added glitter just to the mistletoe berries. My trick for adding loose glitter to small areas is to cut a sharp diagonal point on a drinking straw and use that as a tiny scoop for the glitter.
When the rest of the paste was dry, I put the stencil back on and went over the paste with Distress markers. With a damp paint brush, I pulled out a bit of the Wild Honey I used on the border part of the image to add some shading in the centre area.
I had some decorative paper that went perfectly so created a border with it. And I had the perfect sentiment for the challenge too!
Now back to gardening!!
The sentiment is perfect and so is the paper! Love the texture and sparkle of the mistletoe!
