Stencil paste heat embossing with Ethereal meadows powders

Instructions: Stencil paste card

1. Secure an A2 card panel to the reverse of the stencil using low tack tape.
2. Remove some stencil paste from the jar with a spatula, and spread across the surface of the stencil, ensuring that the paste goes into each area of the stencil. Repeat until fully covered, then scrape away any excess and place back in the jar.
3. Remove stencil, and immediately clean the stencil, spatula and your work area with clean water (it will be impossible to remove once dried!).
4. Take your first embossing powder and sprinkle over a few areas of the stencil paste. Using some scrap paper, quickly flip the card panel over, catching any excess powder in the scrap paper – you can add this back to your jar. Repeat with your other colours of embossing powder, until the entire stencilled pattern is covered.
5. Using the lowest setting on your heat gun, gently heat set the powders, being careful to keep the heat source moving around so as not to burn any area, but allowing the powder to heat set and the stencil paste to dry.
6. Trim the panel to 5 x 3.75″ and add to an A2 white card base.
7. Add your chosen sentiment – I used the a bold sentiment from Concord & 9th (supply list below), die-cutting the shadow die and word dies in white, and then adding Wisteria Wonder embossing powder to the word die, to co-ordinate with the background.
8. Adhere the die-cut to the card panel with foam tape.
9. (Optional) Add some co-ordinating sequins or embellishments to finish.
