Products used:
Dreamweaver Stencil - Gothic Cross
Dreamweaver Embossing Paste – Regular or Glossy
Palette Knife

1. Choose the appropriate card to stencil the image onto &
using low tack masking tape, tape the Dreamweaver stencil
onto the card so that the stencil doesn't move as you use it.

2. Using the palette knife, take a small amount of the paste
and spread it across the stencil, like you were icing a cake.
Make sure that all of the stencil has been covered,
 then scrape the excess paste off the stencil and back into the pot.

3. Carefully peel away the masking tape from the stencil
and lift the stencil from the card (wash the stencil immediately).
Lay the pasted card to one side to dry.
(approx 2 hrs or leave over night)
Once the paste has dried, trim the excess card away from the cross.

4. Cut a silver piece of card slightly larger than the stencilled
cross card and attach foam pads to the back of the stencilled card.
Stick this on top of the silver card & mount the silver card onto the
A5 card, again using double-sided foam pads.

5. Choose a ribbon to match the card
and you can now start to put the card together.

6. Add double sided tape down the left hand side of the card
near to the fold, peel off the backing of the double sided tape
and stick a length of ribbon onto the tape, trimming the edges
of the ribbon at the top and the base of the card.
Add the stencilled cross topper to the card, then use
pink & silver pieces of card to use as a plaque for your sentiment
Add this at the bottom of the card using foam pads.
Use the tiny peel off crosses in the corners of the card & topper to finish.

Once you have removed the stencil and while the paste is still wet,
sprinkle glitter over the design, the glitter will cling to the paste.

Shake off the excess glitter and leave the stencilled image to one side to dry.

Make the card up in the same matting and layering technique
that you did for the previous card.
