Hi everyone Kerrie here
I am back with another post created for the Artdeco Creations Brands Blog 
this time featuring the NEW Couture Creations Be Merry & Classic Christmas 2016 Collection along with my favourite Couture Creations Anna Griffin Embossing Paste & Pigments

I love this collection, so classic and it can also be used for non Christmas creating

Here is a quick tutorial on how you can recreate this layout.

Using a small amount of Embossing Paste, smooth it over the stencil using a lift off tool as these work a treat, or you can use a palette knife.


You want a nice coverage



and while the embossing paste is still wet, sprinkle with some crystal glitter
set aside to dry.
What I love most about the Anna Griffin Embossing Paste is that it dries so quickly, by the time I finish die cutting and cutting and distressing my papers it will be dry 

Die cut 2 of the Holly Flourish Corner die from Be Merry patterned paper

then cut one of the diecuts into 3 sections and leave the other one whole


Spray some water onto your Craft Mat and sprinkle in some  Silver Pigment powder, mix with a paintbrush and use this to add some splatters to your base cardstock



 Layer everything onto your base and finish off with some Diecut Ephemera, Silver Stamens and Pearls
