Stencilled mandala with pearl embossing paste and powder.

Hi everyone, have you had a chance to play along with the embossing paste challenge at CAS Stencil yet?

Well, if not, there's still plenty of time and there's lots of new inspiration from the team.

There are also some video tutorials on the challenge blog to help

 with this technique.

I recently purchasd the heart mandala stencil from Simon Says Stamp and was inspired by

Yana Smakula's video on using this stencil with embossing paste and pearl embossing powder.

I spread mother of pearl modellier creme through part of the stencil, then sprinkled on some satin pearl powder onto the wet design. (Remember to put your stencil and tools into water so that the paste doesn't get a chance to dry on them.)

You're supposed to wait for the paste to dry before heat embossing, but I'm afraid I wasn't that patient lol! It bubbled a bit but I think it's still ok.

I diecut the heart from vellum and layered the sentiment diecut up for dimension.

I'm linking up to these challenges:

Happy Little Stampers anything goes with dies.

Mix it up card Challenge, I've gone with the anything goes option.

Stamplorations CAS Challenge, also anything goes.

Supplies:

Simon Says Stamp heart mandala stencil and sentiment stamp from the happy set; Viva mother of pearl modellier creme; satin pearl embossing powder; Impress heart die: Couture Creations Love die; kraft card stock.
