   Press the waxed cup lid onto your patterned paper to create the first gold circle for the wreath base. The metallic wax will transfer a gold circular impression onto the paper.

   Switch to brown distress ink and use the Tim Holtz Layering-Schablone - Festive to add wooden elements and fern details through the stencil. Build up depth and variety by layering these natural textures over your existing green ink work.

Tipps aus der Show

• You can use the stencil for different formations—not just wreaths; try borders down the side or create baubles with tie details at the top.
• If you don't have gilding wax, you can use metallic paint applied with a brush or cup lid instead.
• The stencil leaves are built on curves, making them perfect for wreath shapes without needing to think about the formation.
