Hi everyone. Another card for Group of Seven's Stencil Monoprint technique.
I used a lovely stencil called Layered Poinsettia from Tim Holtz. I pressed two colours of Distress Ink pads directly only the stencil (Brushed Corduroy, Candied Apple). Spritzed with water and flipped the wet stencil onto a piece of mixed media paper. Used a paper towel to blot over the stencil to remove the ink that escapes from the open design. I ended up with a piece that has the background of the stencil images coloured. I let it dry thoroughly and then placed the cleaned stencil back over top, lining up the design. I added embossing paste over top, using a palette knife to smooth it out. I removed the stencil right away and washed it off. The piece was left to dry.
I finished be adhering the panel to my white card base and attaching a lovely gold foiled sentiment (gift from a friend).

Gorgeous! An excellent stencil monoprint in beautiful vibrant colours, and I love the way you went back and added the embossing paste.
Such a pretty background for those poinsettias Loll, the EP works so well. :)
Simply stunning! Nice touch adding the embossing paste on the top of the stenciled design ..... love it!
That TH Poinsettia stencil is so pretty Loll, and I love the Brushed Corduroy and Candied Apple combination which I would never think to put together but looks terrific, and the added texture paste over the flowers giving lots of wonderful dimension and the gold foiled sentiment finish it perfectly..a really beautiful card! x
Gorgeous poinsettias with the paste, Loll, and I love the monoprint background!!

Great job as always Lolly! Loving the colours you used. I have just done this technique with my little craft group - wish I'd have read your post about the texture paste! But an excuse to do it again as it's one of my fave techniques!
Hope all is well with you my friend. xx
