Step 2: Tape the Merry Christmas and Three Deer stencils to a 4" x 6" piece of cream cardstock with removable tape
Step 3:  Use a palette knife and paste spreader to apply a coat of Metallic Gold embossing paste over the image, remove stencils and place in water for cleaning, carefully sprinkle the red glitter on the "MERRY" and the reigns connecting the reindeer, tap off extra, let paste dry
Step 4:  Trim the dry, pasted image to 3 3/4" x 5 3/8"
