I love 'hanging out' with Therese and her fun friends during her YouTube LIVEs - let me tell you - Therese has been going gangbusters using one of my favorite supplies: stencils! Head on over to her YouTube page to check out the latest. But you'll find at least three posts on her blog where she dives into the many different ways she found to use stencils. I took the bait and found ONE MORE... stenciling OVER patterned paper! Yep, it works! Take a look:
I found the perfect pattern in one of those Scrapbook.com Merry collections of Christmas papers I added to my stash this year. I thought the stripe would be great as a backdrop to my stenciling - I've use Papertrey Ink's Berry Branches, and a few inks that were a perfect match to the colors in those stripes. Then just ink away!

What a great execution on the idea to stencil on pattern paper. Your card is simply beautiful. Thanks for the fun idea, Michele!
Wow, This is fabulous! I love the look of the stenciling over the printed paper, and adding in the embossing inside the stencil gives it even more detail. I'll have to give these ideas a try.
Well, I certainly will try stenciling over patterned paper Michele! What a wonderful card you created - those berries look like layered die cuts with the colors you used - Love the snowy splatter as well! Julia xx
Brilliant! Great choices of pattern, stencil and colors, Michele. I've been watching her videos but haven't seen the latest YET. Your card is fantastic, Friend!
Yes indeed the paper and berry branches look meant to be! So pretty, Michele!
WOW is all I can say. The end result is gorgeous. Love the colors and the snowy splatters.
That has worked so well. You chose the perfect paper for for the background to your lovely stencilling. The white splatters finish it off perfectly xx
Wow! I've bookmarked Therese's sessions and now I see I'd better watch them! Brilliant combo of patterned paper with those berries and falling snow. You did good!
There's nothing prettier than snow falling on red berries, IMHO! I love the texture you created too!
Wowee, what a TAH-DAH moment! I've never stenciled on patterned paper, might just have to give it a go. This is PRETTY!!
Watched the video and was taken by the drop shadow but stenciling on patterned paper is a big plus, Michele. If you have the right paper that is and you sure did. Adding the stencil embossing was an even bigger plus.
Guess I'll have to hop over to Therese's blog so I can find out what the drop shadow technique is, but whatever it is, your card turned out FABULOUS Michele! I haven't used that berry branch stencil in quite a while, and mixed with the striped dsp and then added dimension from the embossing mat...well you have yourself a real beauty my friend! LOVE this!! Hugs. :0)
Look at you go! This looks incredible Michele, I especially love the way that you topped it all off with the added 'berry' dimension and snow! AND the perfect sentiment... sigh! Doncha just love stencils!
