Not sure, never used or had eb paste

I use painters tape to stick the brass stencil to my paper
using white tooth paste mix it with reinker to make the color i want, spread the paste on the stencil nice and evenly.
peel the tape off and carefully pick up the stencil

I know I'm way behind in reading the CCC12 February posts - sorry! But I love the candles & flames on your card. I always love learning new ways to use a punch or other tool.

Hi everyone, a bit faster this month manely because I have been chomping at the bit to try this design out. I've had it in the back of my mind since October. Most of what you need to know is in the card discription but I did forget to mention that I used the little SU slit punch so that I could thread the ribbon through. Also to achieve the type of effect I get with the salt resist you need to have the paper quite wet, I spray once with my mini mister, then slosh the reinker ink on librally, then spray again, then add the rock salt, then spray again. If you try to dry the card off with a heat gun you don't get the same effect as letting it air dry however this takes about 24 hour, lots of patients but it's worth it.
Tomorrow after work it's clean the craft room night to get ready for VSN on Friday / Saturday here. Might even have time to get the sneek peek done. Woo Hoo
O and next months Christmas cards will be a design inspird by Christmas rapping paper from two years ago, hope they work out.
Here are this months cards

I am making my cards for this February challenge as I can - may not be all alike. I found a number of inspiration challenges on blogs that I tried for this card, and I'm not sure yet what I will do for the other 4. Now, off to see what else has been made this month!

I only ruined three sheets of cardstock trying to perfect what I was attempting. I tried to put three embossed squares across the page using my Nesties for embossing without cutting. I couldn't get them all lined up properly for the life of me. This is my simplified version just using some horizontal score lines in lieu of the squares.

Thanks for looking :-)

They turned out great, Leslie. Left love!

Left love, Amy. Great cards. Congrats on completing your Feb!
