Hi everyone. Today is the reminder post for
CAS Stencil April Challnege - Embossing Pastes / Gels, host by the lovely,
Barb.
I had a lot of fun making this pretty stencil monoprint using a flourish stencil. I used Tiffanylou Blue Magicals and once it as dry, I placed the stencil back over top, lining of up the image, and added white embossing paste with a palette knife. I love how the magicals add bits of shimmer here and there in the background. The image has an antique frame with a very small opening. I wanted to focus the eye on the background, and the pretty leaf die-cut that is also coloured with the same magical powders. A simple sentiment is stamped in Delicata silver ink.
Here's a close-up ...

Truly Magical background stenciled image using your Lindy's Magical and embossing paste with your flourish stencil, Loll. TFS the close up of all the shimmer/glitter from the Magicals. Your small die cut Antique window and die cut pretty leaves were the perfect embellishment. Sweet sentiment too. TFS my friend. Hugs..Nancy
Those Magicals make a gorgeous background with the mix of colors and touches of shimmer Loll - and then embossing paste stenciled over gives great depth to your panel. The aqua stem really draws out the colors too! xx
I so love this colour of magicals, it's beautiful and gloriously shimmery. Your card is a wonderful mix of mixing the medias and keeping it CAS and I love it x.
You created such a gorgeous background Loll! My eye was drawn right to it. Before I read your description I just had to study it a bit. Beautiful colors on this too!
A beautiful background and perfectly framed, Loll! It is magical!
your CAS layout and simplicity totally wins out Loll, love the magicals that flow around the stencilled image and the leaf on top :)
Oh Lol, those magicals create a fabulous sparkle in your stencil monoprint, really gorgeous and a wonderful CAS card..... I am on a huge learning curve with the stencil team...so many products, so many techniques and so inspiration. Have a wonderful weekend
Beautiful shades of blue and shimmer from that colour of Magicals! Love it with the embossing paste over top! A beautiful card!

Love this card, Loll. These are my fave colors and the flourish background design is so feminine. The paste over the stenciled image is striking and an interesting contrast with the simpler leaf. Very eye-catching!
Those magicals are so magical, Loll. This is stunning and gorgeous and all kinds of wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing!
A really pretty card. [Bunny]``
This is lovely. I love the beautiful colors and the dimension from the embossing paste. Your leaf die is a gorgeous color.
WOW, Lolly! I just want to keep staring at this! You truly have created a magical background with your monoprint overlaid with paste! I want to see an entire card front of it!! Beautiful card! Happy Easter! Hugs, Dolly
The Magicals make a gorgeous background for the embossing pasted swirls, Loll! Love the beautiful blues, the pretty shimmer, and the clever way you framed the magical monoprint!

This is beautiful, I love the touch of shimmer from the background peeping through the stencil paste .... gorgeous! xx
Ohhhh - how gorgeous is this Loll - fabulous background and the movement you have achieved is amazing, never mind all the subtle colours!

Whew... I think I’m caught up with my commenting!
What a phenomenal idea to use Magicals with embossing paste, Loll. The effect is striking and eye-catching. Love the colours and antique frame. xx
I adore the blue Magicals for the stencilled monoprint Loll, then highlighting the flourish shapes on the stencil with the texture paste looks so pretty, and the blue leaves coordinate beautifully too. The antique frame shows it all off so well, and love the silver sentiment. x
I love this card. You have a beautiful way of making these simply elegant cards. That background is so pretty. I love the colors. Brenda West
This background is stunning, Loll. Beautiful flicker and wonderful color. The paste has created a unique effect.
Hugs,

A stunning magical background and the stencilled paste just adds to the richness of this delicate card. The leaf and sentiment compliment this piece beautifully too. xx
