Bobby (Bits & Pieces) is our special Guest Designer this month --- welcome Bobby! Check out the challenge blog to see Bobby's gorgeous Embossing Paste Stenciled card, along with the amazing cards by our talented Designers. I know you'll be inspired to play along.
Placed the wildflower stencil over top and secured with a few pieces of masking tape. Using palette knife, added embossing paste over top, keeping it as smooth as possible. Lifted the stencil and let the piece dry. Remember to wash off your stencil and palette knife right away (or place in water to wash later). Once the paste dries on a stencil, it's work to get it off.
To finish my card I added a double row of gold cording along with a gold embossed "smile" tag. The panel is popped up for dimension.
There are so many wonderful embossing pastes and gels on the market. I hope you'll join us for this fun challenge. :)

What a brilliant swirl of color on your AI background Loll - so lovely behind your white paste stenciled stems - the gold cord adds great interest with the little sentiment tag - perfect for many occasions a card might be needed!
Gorgeous card, Loll! I love all the texture you created using white embossing paste for the wildflowers, especially with the beautiful AI's on your background...so striking! Great idea to add your sentiment to the gold cord, too...your recipient will definitely smile when they receive this beauty! Barb xx
Such vibrant colours with the inks and acetate and the crisp white stencilled flower with the paste looks stunning x. Such a beautiful card x.

The pretty flowers in white embossing look so striking on the vibrant AI background, Loll.
Wonderful designs on the bg and it makes a beautiful backdrop for your flowers GREAT colors and the gold cord looks great too. Hugz
Golly this is beautiful, Loll! Love the color combination. The silhouette in white is very striking and I like the gold twine and bitty label accent. So pretty!
Your marbling with alcohol ink always amazes me! Love those colors! I also would never have thought of using embossing paste over an alcohol ink background and love that look. Gorgeous card, Loll!
Another stunning card.

I love how that textured wildflower just pops against those luscious warm colours, Loll ... the gold cord and sentiment really sets it off beautifully! Hugs, Anita :)
What a lovely card! The colors are fabulous and really make the stenciled image pop.
Wow what a beautiful bold background. I bet it looks fabulous IRL. Great stenciling and nice touch with the gold cord and simple sentiment.
Striking card, Loll. The colours are just gorgeous. Perfect backdrop for those wildflowers. The retreat last year enabled me and I had to get that stencil. 😉 xx
Stunning card, the white embossing really pops against the beautiful alcohol inked background!
The white embossing paste wildflowers beautifully pop against the gorgeous and vibrant AI background, Loll! The shiny gold cording and the heat-embossed sentiment go perfectly with the AI colors!

You got great coverage with the embossing paste, Loll. Not that I want you to cover up that gorgeous background but you do have to follow the challenge rules. ;)
This looks fab! I love the white paste against that striking AI background xx
That is a beautiful combination of alcohol inks and embossing paste. The silhouette really stands out against the AI background.
Such a great contrast! I love it, the white flowers of the paste look wonderful on your brave background, Loll.
