Embossed stencilling and patterned paper.

Hi everyone, have you had a chance to enter this month's CAS Stencil challenge yet? 

There's still plenty of time.

 The theme is stencilling on patterned paper. You can use sprays, pastes paints, inks, anything you'd like to stencil with.

The design team and our guest have some great ideas to inspire you, so I hope you can play along.

I had some beige paper with textured patterns on it that I thought went well with this Funky Fossil Design tree stencil. I used the branches at an angle to create a pattern with versamark ink. Next I embossed it with some midnight copper powder. I did a couple of embossing layers to add some height and shine to the embossing.

Here's a closer look:

I fussy cut and coloured the butterfly with Inktense pencils and added a sentiment sticker.

I'm linking up to these challenges:

Thanks for visiting,
