Never having done this I was pleased to see a couple of links to tutorials on the challenge blog (along with some pretty amazing makes from the Design Team), and I spent a little while watching instead of making!
I apologise for the really poor quality of this pic - it is a grey day here and the photo taking not made any easier by the use of some gold card... (why oh why do I still use this? I know it makes picture taking the pits!!)I used Pale Gold on my meadow flower stencil and don't think it's too bad for a first attempt!
I finished it with a gold embossed sentiment from SU.
Things I learnt -
1. I find black card very hard to work with!
2. I found it easier to apply the Perfect Medium with a blending tool rather than just foam
3. Better to use a big flat brush to apply the Pearls, tapping off the excess from the brush into the pot top before you put on the stencilled image
4. Don't rush into or go mad brushing off the excess as it will smear and spoil your efforts!
I enjoyed doing this, learning as I went along and as I have lots of colours (normally unused), I will definitely have another go and maybe be a bit more adventurous with a bigger stencil!
