StampNation Stencil Class Lesson 10

Lesson #10 is Heat Embossing with a Stencil

So I started with these floral cards and used translucent embossing paste and some old Martha Stewart embossing powders on the first one. I didn't let the embossing paste dry before heat embossing so there is lots of texture.

For cards two and three, I used perfect pearls powders to 

color white embossing paste. 

For this next series of cards, I used a new stencil and since I didn't have any heavy weight black cardstock on hand, I used black acrylic paint to paint some card front size white cardstock. On the first one I used Ranger Princess Gold Embossing Powder. Card two uses WOW pearl ep. For card three I took the stencil and turned it over onto a new piece of cardstock and rubbed off the versa mark that was on the stencil so I got a reverse image. It is embossed with Ranger Platinum ep.

I'm not crazy about the first set but I'm crazy in love with the second set. I love the metallic embossing powders on the black backgrounds.
