Tips from the show

You can use the stencil on its own without any colour underneath if you prefer a clean sparkle effect.
The sparkle paste has an underlay of glue which disperses, leaving just the sparkle visible.
These stencilled flowers work beautifully as focal points and need minimal additional embellishment.
