Rattan Stencil for Christmas

Welcome to my blog post for December 2022's Happy Little Stampers Stencil Challenge. This is a month long challenge where Anything Goes!

I chose to use the Rattan Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs for both cards today. It is a 6" X 9" stencil - here is the image from A Colorful Life Designs:

To create the background, I used Altenew's Embossing Paste through the stencil and once dried, sprayed with Ranger Ink's Distress Spray Stains.

Both cards were trimmed down with Tim Holtz's Deckle Edge Trimmer so that a nice white border showed all around. The central images are from Sizzix's Geo Christmas (#664202) (on sale for a great discount, as of this writing):

The tree is cut out of Pink and Main's Holographic Cardstock Set 1 and the ornament from gold glitter cardstock (from my stash) for the top. 3 layers of white cardstock were cut of each image and layered underneath for a good sturdy focal point.

The sentiment for the pink card comes from Scrapbook.com's Miracle of Christmas Card Sentiments. I used all gold for the pink card and all silver for the blue card (embossing powder, baubles, etc.).

Thank you for joining me today and I hope you have a chance to play with a stencil and come play along at our monthly challenge!
