Review on 🎄 Stampers Anonymous Holiday Knit Tim Holtz Layered Stencil: Festive Knitting Patterns for Creative Projects by Jessica Lewis

I confess I bought this stencil from another site (at a better price). For those of us new to paper art, I'm frustrated by the lack of stencil and die-cut photos - sometimes I bring home a stencil and find that the image would have looked much better inverted (positive versus negative, no mirrored). I know more experienced crafters probably have a better eye and don't need it, but I'd appreciate some examples. To help other newbies, I'm posting a postcard using this stencil, which I made using Ranger texture paste mixed with champagne gold acrylic paint ($0.99 at a craft store) and some Perfect Pearls. I don't think it's bad for my first attempt at texture paste using a professional stencil. I tried cutting my own templates which had more free space but that didn't work either. I think this template has just the right balance of open space and intricate pattern that even a beginner can handle. I hope this helps someone.
