Stencil Challenge
I used a water mister to spray the card and move the colours around. Once I was happy and the card dried, I placed the stencil (Wander and Find stencil from Carta Bella - retired) overtop and added a layer of white embossing paste. The white paste is quite wet and it reactivated the magicals, causing them to bleed into the paste. I really like the soft colours of the paste, rather than it being white. A happy accident! :)
I added a lovely corner die-cut (Chrysanthemum Corner from Memory Box - retired), which was gifted to me by a dear friend. I thought it worked perfectly with my angled panel. To finish, I stamped (Simply Sentiments - Lawn Fawn) and white heat embossed a black sentiment banner and attached it at the bottom of my angled card front. The whole panel was popped up on foam for added dimension.

Your card is beautiful, such amazing colours and that was a happy accident when the colour bled into the paste, it looks gorgeous. It is wonderful to be back with CAS Mix Up xx
So happy to have you back, Loll! I've really missed you, and your CAS challenges!
LOve your 'happy accident' and the gorgeous colors of your Magicals!
=]
Love your Magicals smooshed background and how the colors wicked into the stenciled paste..a wonderful surprise:-) I agree, your corner die went perfectly with your angled design and added beautiful dimension and texture. TFS your beauty and sharing your very creative challenge...we have missed all our very talented friends and especially you, Lolly:-) Love and Hugs...Nancy
Loving the colours here Loll - oh it's sooooo good to be back! x
Great to have CAS Mix Up back and great to see this beauty too, you were all missed. Love how the paste blended with the powder, I thought it was a transparent paste until you mentioned otherwise. :)
It's so good to have you back, Loll. Those Magicals are just what they say - magical. The colors are gorgeous and the fact they bled into the paste made the stenciling softer.
Wowee did this ever turn out pretty!
I LOVE how the paste took on the color from the background! The die cut is a perfect contrast and a wonderful complement to the angled panel!
What a fabulous effect with the paste on the background Loll. Such a striking card and so good to have the challenge back....You have been missed x.
I do like the way the paste absorbed a bit of the colour from the Magicals - so pretty. Perfect background for the die cut flowers. Great layout with the angled panel.
What a beauty Loll - love those colours and the way they bled into the paste is exquisite
Blessings

OH! so VERY Beautiful

Oh my goodness, this is stunning, Loll!
I love the look you have achieved here with the Brusho background Loll and in those pretty colours, and then the paste which has picked up some of the wonderful colour. The added corner floral and the contrasting black embossed with white sentiment finish it beautifully, and looks great placed at an angle..a great theme for the challenge and great to see you back. x
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL card Loll! Your soft colors are SO pretty and love the "happy accident" of how the colors blended once you added the paste...so cool looking! Love the stencil over top and the angled design too! Lovely, lovely card and SO happy to have the CAS challenges starting up again!! Hugs. :0)
What a happy surprise when the paste blended into the colors. It is a beautiful look. The chrysanthemum corner is a perfect adornment for this card.
I was so tickled to see you are back at it. You were missed! Your card is as stunning as can be. Whether it was planned or a happy accident it came out so well. I hope to play along this month!
How nice to see you all back again! What a beautiful use of this stencil. Love all the texture and dimension on this otherwise CAS card.
Beautiful Loll, I always love the soft muted effect with paste and inks ♥
This is fabulous, Loll! Love that you can slightly see the beautiful Magicals colors through the soft white embossing paste. The style of the corner die-cut matches that of the stencil. Wonderful and unique design too!

Gorgeous Loll. Love your 'MAGICAL' background and I too like that the paste seeps through to give a softness to your stenciling. Lovely die cut topping too. So glad you are back. I'm on it already and waiting for paste to dry hehe
WOW! This is so pretty. I love how the paste has taken on the colour of the background, it makes the stenciling look soft and delicate.
The die cut corner is beautiful and I do love how you've added the panel on an angle .... looks very stylish xx
YAY for happy surprises. Beautiful card, Loll. Love the colours of your smooshed Magicals background… the shimmer must look amazing IRL.
Love your card Loll, the colors are so pretty! It is so cool how the colors bleed onto the embossing paste, it gives such a cool look to the paste. Your corner flowers are perfect and I love the bolder, black sentiment. Of course I love the angled panel on the card base, I really need to try doing this. Hugs, Brenda
Very inspiring Loll! So stunning too! I will definitely have to try this technique:)
Boy did you make my jaw drop -- this is gorgeous!
Stunning background with the embossing paste, Loll - love the colors and the angle!!
Your overlaid die cuts mimic the shapes on your paste stenciling wonderfully Loll - and what great colors over the stenciling! xx
Love the soft colours of the magicals and the die cut is the perfect match with the angled design.
A brilliant combination of this die and template. I love the colors you used for the background, this is one of my favorite sets.
xx
