   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 Esténcil por capas - 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.

Consejos del programa

• 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.
