I used the beautiful Festive stencil from Tim Holtz, pouncing over top with a finger dauber sponge that had been dipped in a little gesso. You need so little gesso for this technique. It acts as a resist and once you sponge over top, the design appears. I sponged with Salvaged Patina and Mowed Lawn for the background colours.
The deer (Inspired - Penny Black) is die-cut from black card stock and I used the same to add a frame on two sides of my main panel before popping it up on foam to add dimension. The sentiment (Christmas Sentiments - Penny Black) is stamped in black ink to finish.
