I wanted to give the Technique challenge at Splitcoaststampers a try this week- it is posted on Mondays of each week.  I had a holiday card to make, so was happy to get it completed as well.  

 This was a little messy, but I loved doing it : )  First, Gesso is applied to the cardstock, and once dried the images by Gina K were stamped on the background. I did heat set the images just to be safe, then applied Gesso again in a random pattern- not all of the card is covered. Next, a layer of a shimmery/metallic paint is added- I brushed it on in both directions, it can be rubbed in using a circular motion- all up to you.  Finally, we were to add modeling paste thru a stencil.  I used the waste from the die cut Gina Marie snowflake die cuts for my stencil, and I used white paste thru it. The sentiment was added and the Silver deer added.  

HERE is a link to the Tutorial on Splitcoaststampers.

The deer die is Sweet Stamps, the snowflakes die Gina Marie.  Stamps are Gina K Designs. 

Thanks for stopping by!
