Water Colored Embossed Stencil

The theme at the CAS Stencil Challenge is to use Heat Embossing with a Stencil.

 

 

I wasn't sure what to do, so I went searching at SplitcoastStampers and found this Watercolor Bokeh Technique I thought I could modify.   I used Taylored Expressions Liquid Watercolors to create my rainbow background.

Then I used a circles stencil and Gina K. Designs White Pigment Ink to apply ink.  Finally, I clear embossed the white ink.  I didn't get quite the contrast I was hoping for, but I still liked the effect ... sort of a 70's tie-dye.  I cut it into three pieces for three cards.

For the first one I used some Easter Bunny stickers and a sticker sentiment.

 

Then I found these psychedelic 3-D Pineapple stickers in my stash that worked perfectly.  You can see the embossed circles more in this card.

 

And one more fun little pineapple ... because we know that an UGH is perfect for some situations.

 

I love challenges that make me play with my supplies ... I don't do it nearly enough.

Wonderful backgrounds, gorgeous colours and clever idea to do the bokeh and emboss them, adds lots of lovely texture. Thankyou for playing along at CAS Stencil, Cathy x
