Crafter's Worshop Blog Hop

Today I am participating in a blog-hop featuring stencils by the amazing Julie Fei-Fan Balzer.  The stencil that is being featured today is a triangle stencil.  Here is what it looks like:

I've been working on a Christmas journal and when I sat down to play with the stencil the first thought that popped into my head was "Christmas Tree!"

I took some masking tape and masked off the area that I wanted to use:

 

I'm working on a vintage perscription that I bought here.

Then using a palate knife I spread a thin layer of glue onto the stencil.

Once that was done I sprinkled it with some German glass glitter (which can be found here.)  Using a spoon to press the glitter into the glue.

When I was all done spreading the glue I lifted it straight off and let it dry.
I added a collage image by Debrina Pratt on the tag, added a star and cut out little presents and added some German foil.

Sorry about the reflections--I tried scanning it but it was even worse!  That's the price I pay for using glitter I suppose.

Now that you've seen my work, you can go check out the other artists that are participating:
