I love using glitter paste with stencils because it creates such fun texture! From now on, however, I plan to use watercolor paper when creating backgrounds with glitter paste because even after spending a night under my heavy eBosser plates, the glitter paste panels I made with card stock were still not really flat. I've tried it with watercolor paper, and it holds up better.
To make this card, I started with blue ink and a sponge to create the first layer using one of the snowflake stencils in the 2-snowflake stencil set I have. Then I used gold glitter paste on the second layer. I love the depth and texture this creates! I added a few more die cut snowflakes and stars using some blue card stock scraps to complete the background and then moved on to the sentiment strip. "Warmest Wishes" is from a retired Close to my Heart stamp set. I stamped it onto white card stock and then die cut it with my new die set by Sue Wilson: Decorative Holly Rectangle Frame Slimline Collection. I added a strip of blue card stock die cut with the same die behind the sentiment. In hindsight, I may have been better off just stamping directly onto the blue card stock strip and skipping the white strip. I may play around with that idea for another card. I will definitely be playing with more glitter paste! I can't believe my local craft outlet had glitter paste for 25 cents a container and I only bought one of each color they had! I hadn't ever used it before and have a tendency to buy items on sale and then not use them (I think the glitter paste has been in my craft stash for over a year now, and I finally took it out to use it this past weekend😁), so I hesitate to purchase much of anything new in case I don't like it, but if I see glitter paste there again, I will snatch up more of it in a heartbeat! It's so fun to work with and creates such a cool texture!
