This is for the latest CAS challenge to use stencils.
The background is done by mopping up leftover ink from a previous project.
I added embossing paste through a mesh stencil to create a vertical strip on the card front.
I die-cut the leaf sprigs in vellum and baby blue metal craft sheets and mounted them over top of the embossing paste. The "You" die (three layers glued together for depth) is mounted on top of the leaves and the rest of the sentiment is stamped in soft gray. Three sequins and two rhinestones finish the card.
Ink: tempting turquoise, garden green, pacific point, smoky slate
Accessories: water mister, textured mesh stencil (memory box), embossing paste, palette knife, little leaves die (sizzix), you die (simon says), sequins, rhinestones
