Good morning...
The weekend has started well... The wind has dropped and the sun is shining... Couldn't be better.
Today's card is for the CAS Stencil challenge
It's been that long since I used any paste 2 of the pots just would not open. Thankfully I had one by Wendy Vecchi that I was able to open and there was still a little paste left.
For the stencil I used a die cut and then tried something I haven't done before, not sure if it would work ... I sprinkled some silver embossing powder from a height whilst holding my stenciled card upright... I wanted to try and get a little silver on there to bring out the silver backing on my leaf, but I didn't want too much.
Then I used a heat gun on the reverse side first and then on the front to melt the embossing powder... Low and behold it worked!
I added a little frame and a stamped clear embossed sentiment to finish... By the way the leaf was one of a bunch I made a while ago.
I hope you have a lovely weekend...
Take care

Snap Ros!
Great minds think alike!
Not only did we use the same die but one pot of my embossing paste was stuck fast too!
Great card!
This looks stunning Ros and love the idea of sprinkling the embossing powder and then heat setting it over the dimensional paste, and the framed it complements the beautiful coloured and sparkly leaf perfectly. x
Ros, this is stunning, "gasp"! I love everything about it. Thanks for sharing at CAS Stencil.
Absolutely GORGEOUS Roz...CAS perfection! LOVE it!! :0)
Beuatiful as always Ros...clever technique with the glitter. have a good weekend...sunshine here too and a bit warmer. xx
So beautiful Ros!! Love how you've added a little bit of silver embossing to the paste. It turned out really well. I will have to give that a try! :) I love the framing and your gorgeous silver backed encrusted leaf. Wonderful mix of elements! xx
You did an amazing job on this technique, Ros! I love all the sparkle on the diamond pattern...it's so elegant and it pairs perfectly with your gorgeous leaf! Thank you so much for playing along with us at CAS Stencil Challenge!
Your wind came over here to visit us. I have so many garden jobs to do. Rain, rain and wind -- go away! Your card makes me think of a garden. I have a lattice die I've been wanting to stencil with. Your dusting of embossing powder turned out so pretty and is a really nice effect. You're always coming up with these great ideas. This is just so lovely, Ros!
Elegant and beautiful card, Ros. I simply LOVE it!!!
Gorgeous Ros, love the touches of silver on the leaf and the stencil.
Don't you just hate it when things dry up :)
This is one beautiful card Ros, your little silver EP experiment worked fabulously - I love it, and finished of beautifully with the gorgeous leaf. Thanks for playing along with CAS Stencil this month, hugs Robyn
What a great effect, it looks so luxe. Did you try running your stuck pots under a running hot water tap? It usually works for me, with glue too. My problem is half a pot of Nuvo embellishment mousse, gone rock hard! Musn't have closed the lid tight enough!
Fantastic card! Love the silver and the pretty leaf!
Gorgeous stenciled with embossing paste background with the added (carefully) silver EB powder and heated to melt the powder. Love your technique..will have to try. Your frame, beautiful leaf and sentiment were the perfect CAS touches. TFS Ros and joining us at CAS Stencil Card Challenge. Hugs..Nancy
Gorgeous Ros. Perfect CAS elegant and simple.
It sure did work Ros and your card is stunning and a beautiful CAS card x.
A lovely stencil background and the leaf is just gorgeous, Ros! Happy to hear the weather turned nice there. Today is a nice, too, with warmer temps. I can't wait to see more flowers bloom. I did see a few daffodils in town this morning, so pretty!
What a cool technique you came up with, Ros--love it! Wonderful card!
Yes, that did work alright, what a gorgeous card!
Beautiful! Love the effect of the embossing powder on the embossing paste! Must try this! Love how the frame encloses the stenciling, and that leaf is gorgeous! So clean and elegant Ros! Well done my friend :)!
What a great technique for your background - love the texture and the glittery silver so pretty framed in the white and with that lovely leave layered over the edge! thanks for joining us in CAS Stencil!
How gorgeous! I'll have to give that trick at try.
Wow, the shine and sparkle is beautiful. I love how you added a bit to the leaf. I love the framing and leaf on top.
Wow, this looks stunning, Ros! I love how the silver embossing powder spread! The maple leaf is so beautiful too.
A very sophisticated CAS card!
