Christmas Blessings

I just love the little snowflake stencil that is part of Simon's December Card Kit, and I thought I'd use it in a slightly different way to show how versatile stencils can be.  So I embossed it on a scrap of white cardstock, rubbed some chalk over it to bring out the details even more, and added some of the tiny clear sequins that are also included in this kit.  A green snowflake?  Why not?

Other supplies that I used here are the red and white cardstock and lime design paper from the kit, plus elements of Simon's Christmas Sentiments stamps and die set.  The tiny stripe is from the 6" pad of Doodlebug Designs Home for the Holidays.  I love the script font for the die and how you can mix so many sentiments using the stamps included with it!

Edited to answer Jennifer's question about embossing a stencil.  Here was my sandwich using my Cuttlebug: plate A, plate B, stencil, cardstock, rubber mat, plate B, some extra cardstock as a shim.  Ran it back and forth 2 or 3 times and got a great impression!

Thanks for stopping by today - have a great week!
