Stenciled Gift Wrapping

As any stamper knows, the presentation of a gift is often just as important as the gift itself! So for my hat, glove, scarf gift set, I had to come up with something exciting in the way of packaging. I decided it was time to break out the stencils for this job!

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

I used Sponge Daubers to apply the inks to the box. The colors I selected for the base of the ornaments were Soft Suede, Bermuda Bay. Rich Razzleberry and Rose Red Classic Inks.
Each motif on the ornaments was done with Platinum Shimmer Paint.
When using Shimmer Paint for stenciling, be sure to pick up just a very small amount of paint with your dauber and dab lightly. With a medium that is runny in consistency, it can be easy to apply the paint to heavily, causing "oozing" of the paint where it doesn't belong.
To do a metallic Shimmer Paint Base as done on the coordinating Gift Card, you need to use a Craft Ink for the motif overlay. The Classic Ink will absorb right back into the paint and you'll be left with a disappearing image!
Masking is made easy when using jumbo post it notes!
