I've used the Leaf and Snowflake Sprays stencil for my card and I've combined it with the fabulous stamp, If Kisses Were Snowflakes.
I began with a piece of Distress Mixed Media Heavy Stock and marbled Distress Paint (broken china, dusty concord, picked raspberry) onto it by putting paint on my craft sheet, spraying with water, dipping the paper into it, spraying more water on the paper... drying, dipping, spraying, and drying until I liked it. Over this I stenciled just parts of the Snowflake Spray with white paint (PaperArtsy Fresco Finish, Snowflake) and then splattered white paint over the entire piece.
The quote was stamped in the center with Versafine Ink (onyx black) and embossed with clear powder. I stenciled almost a complete spray above the quote with Silver Embossing Paste (Bo Bunny), let it dry, and repeated below the quote flipping the stencil so the snowflakes went large to small in the opposite direction, and let it dry. I added white Embossing Paste (Wendy Vecchi, Dreamweavers) around the edges leaving it in bumps like hills of snow and let that dry. This was layered to a purplish cardstock leaving a small border. The next layer is a silver Deco Sheet (Tim Holtz Idea-ology) attached to a piece of cardstock and trimmed to size. Lastly is the folded white card base. To finish it off I glued on a white pearly snowflake button, shank cut off.
I hope you've enjoyed my card!!! Don't forget to leave a comment!!
Hugs, Wanda

How lovely! The background is pretty - you didn't make 'mud' which I often do when trying that technique ;) Thanks for the inspiration.
So, so pretty! You've really captured the blizzard effect! I love the layers of silver and white and texture on the card using the stencil. Great sentiment!
I just love snowflakes so this card is extra special. Carmen G.

This card is beautiful, as is all your work. You are inspirational!
Oh, Wow....all glittery and yet soft and beautiful. Great use of these stencils !
Such a beautiful card! Love your work.
Thanks for setting me straight, Wanda! I've been admiring all of the stencils, but didn't realize how detailed the Leaf & Snowflake Sprays are. Beautiful! I have been very lazy the past few years with making my own Christmas cards ((meaning that I haven't made any...), but this stencil sure looks like an elegant way to make some with a lot of sparkle. I appreciate the inspiration!
Like a cool blast, this blizzard is gorgeous with those colors and fab snowflakes!! Love the sentiment!
I'm so done with winter this year but still love what you've done with this card, it's gorgeous.
What a wonderful card for any time of year for that special person in your life! The background colors are exquisite and what a great way to use the paste - snow!!! Thank you.
So beautiful- so many textures and effects.
Such a wonderful textural effect, Wanda. Really pretty.
I don't want to think about winter, but nice card anyway!
Fantastic colours!
Beautiful card! I love the background and all the different details.
Stunning card :) Love the Distress paint background :)
Love your background and then the little stars on top. So pretty, the snow around the border is so neat! Of course, the center stage - the sentiment is just gorgeous - love the font!
