Hi everyone! I’m excited to share this pretty holiday layout I created using the TCW951 Happy Holly Tree stencil. As soon as I received this stencil, I just knew I had to use it on a holiday layout. It’s so pretty!

Disclaimer: “The Crafter’s Workshop provided me with product to create this layout. The opinions I share are solely my own.
To begin, I placed the stencil over white cardstock.

Next, I used a blending brush to blend the ink through the stencil.

I used a fine tip brush to color in the berries. Next time, I need to tape down the stencil because the stencil moved a little causing some of the berries to be a little smeared, but that’s OK. I still love how this turned out.
Once I was finished blending in the ink through the stencil, I used a variety of embellishments and paper to pull this together, being careful, not to cover too much of the tree.

At the last minute, I decided to glue white rhinestones all over the tree to add some sparkle. Isn’t this so pretty!?

Here is a closer look at the rhinestones. SOOOO PRETTY!
