Today’s tutorial was about recycling a craft tool that most of us would routinely throw away.  That tool is a homemade stencil to use with glitter paste.  I usually find myself taking the instructions from the tutorial and somehow making my cards a way more difficult to execute.  By this, I mean that I select an image that has to have parts masked off, or I make mine into a shaker card, or I use a cover die that I want to pop up and it has lines that are 1/8th of an inch wide…………., you know the routine.  Today was different though……………………not only did I stay simple (sat on my hands so that I didn’t add more embellishments), but also I didn’t even alter the glittery mess around the circle.  I decided that the uneven scattered look suited the image I used and went well with the odd circle stencil that I used in the second card.

I think this is the earliest time in the day that I have managed to post to the gallery.
