Bahhumbug challenge 2 Stencils

Hi folks, this week at Bahhumbug the challenge is to use a stencil. I after admit that this one was a real challenge  for me. I thought I would use one of my brass stencils. I have a few but have to hold my hand up and say I've only used them about three times in all the years that I have had them, and thats quite a few.

I have used the 3Kings stencil and taped it to my dark blue card and put white mat paste through it. I then mounted it onto some silver and gold fancy mirror card. I chose not to use a Christmas paper, instead I chose an Elusive image paper as I wanted it to reflect the rich colours of the east with the gold scroll ribbon. I added tiny star gems to some of the stars in the night sky. Also purple gems in the corners and on the sentiment to match the paper.  The sentiment is a Lilli of the valley rubber stamp and I used a die cut to mount this onto.
