52 CCT September Technique Challenge

It's a fun challenge this week at 52CCT and Rosi's last challenge for September!  She has had some challenging challenges and this is a new one for me.

I have never done partial Stenciling so I was exited to give it a try.  

Basically what you do is mask off a stencil and use only part of it.  I used a Stencil within a Stencil on this card.  It was a big stocking stencil and I just taped my design stencil behind it.  I had narrowed my stencils down to 4 and had my husband narrow it down to one.  I think he choose a great stencil.  

If you notice, I taped off the top of the Stocking because I had a different plan for that area.

Next I spread transfer gel all over it.

It took about an hour for the transfer gel to dry.  You will know it is ready when it dries clear.

I had a foil that I thought would be pretty for this design as it had many colors in it.  

I hand cut out the stocking, making sure to get the top area too.  I used the stencil to trace just the top area so I could cut it out and cover in glue. I pressed white flock onto it and then glued the white area onto the top of the stocking. With green cardstock, I hand cut the evergreen leaves and punched out red for berries.

This was a fun challenge so I hope you all give it aa try and then come on over to 52CCT and load up your card!

Thank you for stopping by!
