GLOSSY CARD STOCK !!
Yes you can, I figured it out yesterday. I am so pumped about it, as you can tell ... hehehe. I got my first stencil from the new Stampin' Up! mini catalog, and wanted to try something different. EVERYONE can sponge down color, (and they all make it look fantastic), but I wanted to be unique. So, here is what I did with a picture tutorial.
I laid down the stencil on top of my 12 X 12 CS. I proceeded to fill up the holes with Crystal Effects. You have to WORK FAST, since it will dry to your CS and you can rip your paper. Take it off immediately, pop all the bubbles and let it dry (overnight is best).
You can see some spots where it flooded over, but that was because I did not have it on a flat surface. Who cares, though, look how awesome that is! Think of all the things you can stencil with your Crystal Effects(#101055), and the way it adds texture without overwhelming the CS. Now if this page was finished it would be even better, but I am working on a card to show you! If you try this, make sure to link below and show everyone what you came up with. Tootles, have fun and happy stamping!!
Faboulous idea!! Thanks for sharing! :)

Awesome effect! How was it to clean off the stencil after? Did you clean it right away, did you have to use anything special to clean it?
Thanks Julie!

I LOVE Liquid glass....I use it ALL the TIME...lol Never thought to use it with a stencil though. I like to use mine ontop of stamped images or letters to pop them out...or to add dew drops to flower petals...works great as an adhesive too for buttons, or to pop a pattern on a pattern paper like a flourish or something...I could go on and on about it as I love it...lol

Thanks for the fabulous idea Julie! @ Jean, why didn't I think of that?! now I have 2 great things try out...need to get some time in the studio! I wonder what the effect would be of heat embossing with clear EP..must try! Was it easy to clean off the stencil after using the crystal effects on it?

Very Cool Julie! My other favorite non standard trick is to tap my Versamark pad across the stencil openings - remove stencil and then heat emboss with whatever color embossing powder strikes your fancy. My favorite is Gold or Silver for an elegant look.
I played with that on this blog post with the elegant trio stencil but I'm sure it would look spectacular with this one too -

Thanks for sharing your experiments - can't wait to see what you do with it.
