hi
 my turn on Scrap FX blog
here are a few cards created using stencils and chipboard

for my first card i used Hexagonal Pattern stencil

texture paste and a little bit of green paint  after i lifted the stencil i sprinkled a little bit of glitter

before the texture paste dried

and the Flourish 05 Curl Border

i cut to look like a branch and painted it white and added glitter while the paint was wet

the next card i used Random Dots stencil

with texture paste and sprinkled glitter to look like snow drops

painted the chipboard Mini Lock

white paint and added glitter
