Wishing you a cozy hoiliday season....a card for Make it Monday!

Hello,
I finally found some time to participate in a Make it Monday challenge again.  This week's video is all about creating a flocked look with dimensional paste.  Danielle made her very first "Make it Monday" video this week demonstrating this fun technique.  Thanks Danielle!!!

 I have 4 different card fronts created to try this technique on.  I do have one cover plate die from PTI but I wanted to experiment with another idea.  This first card that I am showing today is using a stencil I created from various dies in my collection - many of them from PTI.  I also added some hole punches in a heart shape and small circle shape. I think if I do this again I will add a whole bunch more of the tiny holes as I love the effect it gives!  Great for snow!!!
 Here is a picture of the stencil I created for my paste:

 This picture (below) is blurry as I was moving the spatula when I took it.  I found that the spatula from my Stamp-a-faire kit works GREAT at layering molding paste through both the paper die-cut stencils and any plastic one's you may have on hand.

 

Here you can see the 4 card fronts I created on Monday morning....sorry the picture quality is so bad.  My craft studio is in my basement and it was a dark and rainy morning:

The top left is the card front created with my hand-made stencil.  The bottom right is a Christy Tomlinsen (sp?) stencil and the other two are from a Simon Says Stamp stencil.    I used both a Shimmerz Texturz paste in "Patina" which is a light aqua color and some Aleene's Glitter Snow Paste that I had on hand to make these 4 card fronts.

 Here is one more view of the card I made:

 

And a close-up of the sentiment panel which was heat-embossed with some red glitter embossing powder I had on hand.  

 

 I added a little red gingham heart to the snowflake at the top as I thought it was perfect with this sentiment.  And I just love gingham - especially red gingham at Christmas time!!!!  The PTI stamp set I used is called "Happiest of Holidays" 

Thanks for taking a look at my card!  I hope to find some time to work on the other cards too - we will see how my weeks goes.  I am looking forward to seeing what everyone does with this technique!
