I realize that Christmas is over, but I wanted to share a few cards that I made at the last minute.
The backgrounds for all six cards were created with two pieces of black cardstock. I used white spray paint through a (**new**) Balzer Designs stencil and then while the paint was still wet, I pressed it to a clean sheet of black cardstock to get the reverse print. The snowflakes are the ones I used as masks when I created my Sprayed Snowflake Christmas Cards, which I shared last week. The stamp is the same hand carved sentiment that I used before. I tried out two different embossing powders. Neither one really gave me the detail I was looking for. So, I'll keep trying!
I had fun playing with the same few elements and trying to see how many interesting compositions I could create. Sort of like working in a series on a very small scale!
Thanks for stopping by!

Very nice cards and great way to get double duty out of the spray painted over stencil design! Looking forward to seeing your newest stencils.
