I really like the stencils for sponging images onto cards.  This one is so effective with the overlay of Platinum Shimmer Paint. The flower stamp was coloured with markers, then huffed on and stamped.  Then we laid the stencil for the small ornament on the cardstock and held it down firmly while we picked up Rich Razzleberry ink with a sponge and coloured inside the ornament with a circular motion.  When it was as dark as we wanted we lifted up the ornament stencil and placed the branch and berry stencil over the ornament, then replaced the ornament stencil over the ornament image again and held it down tight while we daubed platinum shimmer paint in the branch and berry opening.
