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,

This is so pretty Cathy and love the colour of the background paper and the Funky Fossil tree stencil heat embossed in that beautiful copper colour looks stunning over the top, and the complementary butterfly finishes it perfectly. x

LOVE the tree stencil Cathy! Looks amazing with the deep copper embossing. Great idea to add a couple of layers to give the embossing some depth. Beautiful card! xx

Beautiful, I love the embossing. You gain special respect for that as I think it is hard to get good clean embossing with stencils - do you have a knack? Perhaps I haven't practiced enough! xx

Carol L said...

This is SO pretty, and I've never tried embossing through a stencil, but what a great look! Beautiful!

Claire said...

Beautifully designed, the embossing and shine on the patterned paper is lush. I like how you've manipulated the stencil to look like branches rather than the tree x

Mac Mable said...

Great layering of the heated copper and a fabulous idea just to use part of the tree stencil. Gorgeous tones and a fabulous design x.

Linda said...

WOW! This looks gorgeous ..... great use of that stencil xx

Sue said...

This is so elegant, Cathy. The heat embossed copper stencilling is fabulous and the beautifully coloured butterfly with little gems is a lovely addition.
