Designer's Tip: Coat the back of your stencil with a thin layer of soap for an easy release from the adhesive sheet.

Instructions

1. Place your card with the fold at the top. Cover with rose texture paper and ink the edges with a sponge.
2. Cut a 4”x3” piece of double-sided adhesive, peel off a backing sheet and place on ivory cardstock. Trace the 2 1/4”x3” Vintage Sign on covered adhesive, remove template and cut out. Remove remaining backing sheet of the adhesive and place adhesive side up on a craft sheet. Wet your finger, rub a little soap on it and rub onto the back side of the stencil, covering lightly, but completely. Place the stencil soap side down on the adhesive covered cardstock.
3. Use stencil tape to mask off areas of the stencil that you will not be working on first, and sprinkle glitter over one exposed area of the stencil at a time, rubbing the glitter into each open stencil area, then shaking off excess. Glitter used: horn, halo and star – gold; ribbon – crimson; dots – grass; hair – copper; wing – fountain; face, hand, foot – yellow; robe – platinum and white. Remove cardstock carefully from stencil by peeling slowly off of the stencil. Cover the remaining adhesive areas with white glitter, rub in, and shake off.
4. Mat the glittered angel on red, then ivory cardstock with 1/16” borders. Ink edges. Trace the 3 1/2”x4 3/4” Bracket Label on red scroll paper, cut out and ink the edges. Tie a 12” length of ribbon at an angle around the label and foam tape it to the lower portion of your card. Foam tape the angel over it.
5. Place the “NOEL” Dazzle on a 2 1/4”x1” red cardstock and ink the edges. Mat on ivory with a 1/16” border, ink the edges and foam tape above angel.
6. For the inside: Ink the edges of a 5”x4 1/4” music paper and center on card. Place the metal stencil at lower left and then upper right corners of paper, sponging ink through the openings at each setting. Trace the 1 1/2”x2 3/4” Vintage Label on red cardstock, cut out and ink the edges. Place the “Blessings” Dazzle on center and foam tape over an 8” looped length of ribbon.
