The second card I used a ready made polyfilla (hubby just happened to have some lying around) and got a slightly rougher look to the finish, when this was dry I took Pebeo's gilding wax and rubbed over the top without putting the stencil back over. I love the shabby look that I got with this finish but wish that I had distressed the edge of my card before mounting it.
For my last card I used some silver sparkle medium that I had bought at a show a couple of years ago. I was not the tried and tested variety that I had used in the past from Imagination Crafts but one that can be dried with a heat gun. I have to say that I was pleased with the finish, but it does not look so nice in the jar. Both of the last two cards I used the same sentiment as the first.
Thanks for taking the time to look and your kind comments which are always appreciated.

Gorgeous cards.xxx
I love how very different they look, even though you've used the same stencil and die, just goes to show how versatile our tools can be

WOW - these look GREAT. So many different looks with the techniques used. Chuckled at you stealing the husband's polyfilla (but secretly admire your sass!).
Happy Rudolph Day.

Hi Sue,
what great Rudolf cards.
Wonderful designs too.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
They all look lovely and very different. Have to say my favourite is the sparkly one!
These are all gorgeous, but I do love the sparkly one.

lovely work Sue - big hugs rachel x
A trio of beauties! I love the look of these three. Each is special in its own way. I like the elegance of the first and the grungy look of the second! The third is so lovely and sparkly.
I have managed to update my post to show the photos and the extra prize details How you can stop back and check it out.
Thanks for taking part in the September Rudolph Days Challenge.
It is good to see the different ways you have used this stencil. I like the first one best, but they are all lovely. Kate x
All three cards are really pretty. I really like that combination of distress inks.
Wonderful festive designs Sue

A stunning trio of cards, Sue! I love them all very much! The polyfilla one looks brilliant. I may have to venture furhter into the decorating section when I go to Wilkos again ;-)
Gorgous threesome Sue. Lovely soft colouring and a great design xx
Three beautiful designs using the same stencil. I love the texture and these look fantastic with the wonderful Inka gold over top. I hope you are doing well, Shirleyxx

fabulous cards, especially like the first one.

Wonderful backgrounds made from the DI, and I especially loved #2. This reminded me of the old tin ceiling tiles I used to see in buildings, with the soft patina of age. Each card is a treasure with the lovely soft swirling colors, the pretty embossing and great job on creating 3! Saw your link at Rudolph Day, and so glad I zipped over to get a better look. TFS
Wonderful cards, love the sparkle.

Three great techniques showcased to perfection, hard to chose a fav, but maybe the last one as I love glitter.
These are so pretty Sue, I love the stencil you used, I think I have that one. Great to see the different effects that can be achieved.

These are three beautiful cards Sue. How different they all look by using different techniques. I really enjoyed reading how you made them. I think the second is probably my favourite but they are all very lovely. Barbxx
These are lovely! I love the soft colors you used!
Three gorgeous cards. My favourite is the top one - what a great way to use the Inka Gold. xx
Very, very lovely cards. Like all the different techniques.
Love these so much I am a new 'follower'! Tfs the steps xxx
Thanks dear Sue, your words of comfort were special and dad will be laid to rest next Wednesday 7th at 1pm .xx

Have a nice day !!

Three beautiful snowflake cards Sue and I love the dimension and I am so surprised that the polyfilla has worked so well. I would have though it might collapse when you removed the stencil but it looks great! Really pretty colours on all three too. x
