Non-traditional Christmas colour

 I lost a shadow die last week, so on Sunday I did some tidying up - and not I did not find it... but did find a stamp stuck to the top of my Misti - not even sure what set it came from and I found my Sweet Poppy metal stencils - I have two Christmas ones - an ornament and a bell. 

I took the ornament one and some paper and got out some purple Altenew inks.  I recently purchased the Scrapblook.com magnetic magic mat and I used it to hold my stencil onto the paper.   It sticks to the magnetic side perfectly and lets me do the inking. 


Doesn't it look impressive in the purples.  It is a large stencil and to get it all on my card, I made a base that is 5" x 6".  I used several of the Altenew inks. And then I added a sentiment from a magazine freebie, inked in Altenew Obsidian ink.  I splashed some water on it to get droplets and then spritzed it with Shimmer Spray in Frost.  Added some white gel dots, and some white pearls.  For tiny splash of colour I added some red enamel dots for the berries.
