April CAS Stencil Challenge


Hi everyone, it's time to start the April challenge at CAS Stencil and we are looking at using embossing pasts and gels with our stencils. 


Here's how I made my card.
1. Smoosh two colours of ink pads separately onto craft mat and blend some white embossing paste into both.
2. Mask off part of the card and place stencil on, apply embossing paste. I used the darker colour at the top and blended the two together a little bit in the middle.
3. I heat embossed my flower and sentiment and used the same two colours to water-colour the flower.


We have some video tutorials at the challenge blog and our guest designer and the other DT members have some gorgeous inspiration for you. Looking forward to seeing your beautiful cards!

Love your color choices for blending into your paste. Wonderful way to color your stencil dots with your colored embossing paste. Almost an ombre effect, Sue. Beautiful little gold heat embossed flower in the same colors for your embellishment. Wonderful gold heat embossed sentiment too. TFS my friend. Hugs..Nancy
