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!

I love how your vibrant color palette adds a feeling of whimsy to the dots and how elegant it looks on your beautiful rose...very clever of you! I also love all the texture you created with embossing paste...Such a sweet thank you card, Sue!
What a great technique, Sue. I love your card!
Really pretty card in shades of pink Sue. Gorgeous design and I love the soft colouring on the flower. The stitched diecut border frames it beautifully, Cathy x
I agree with Julia, this is a really pretty card Sue, lovely colours and dotty background to show off the flower and gold sentiment
Sue, beautiful colours, love how they blend together. Such a gorgeous background for your flower :)
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
