Step 1: To begin, gather a Wendy Vecchi MAKE ART Perfect Grey card base and a Wendy Vecchi MAKE ART White Panel. Spray the back of the Treading Hearts Stencil with Pixie Spray. Set the stencil aside todry until the spray adhesive is tacky to the touch.

Step 2: Center the stencil onto the white cardstock. Starting at the top of the stencil, and working down to about the center of the paper, apply Moon Dust Glitter Gel with a palette knife. Apply Asteroid Glitter Gel to the bottom portion of the stencil. Peel up the stencil, and scrap any excess Gel back into the containers as possible. Wash the stencil and tools immediately with warm soapy water. Set the cardstock aside to dry completely.

Step 3: Round the bottom corners of the card base and the white cardstock using a corner rounder punch. Wrap satin ribbon down the middle of the card, tying the ends into a knot at the top of the card. Adhere the white cardstock to the card base. Tie a bow from the ribbon.

My name is Audrey Pettit. I live in Cary, North Carolina and have two wonderful kiddos, Peter and Nicole. I started scrapbooking and card-making about a decade ago after being invited to a friend’s house for a stamping party. That party opened my eyes to a whole new world of paper-crafting, and I have never looked back.  Visit Audrey’s blog at: AudreyPettit.Wordpress.com.
