For this card I put the colours (yellow and blue) down with the stencil in place and then I used clear embossing paste over the top. While it was still wet I sprinkled some brown bister over and spritzed with water. The bister pooled around the edges of the embossing paste reducing the amount of white space from the stencil. I quite like the look. Once dry I stamped it with the stampit Australia background stamp,

This is fabulous - love the way you used the stencil, and the script stamp over top of it looks wonderful. And a good use of brads too - I have a bunch that I should use one day!

Oh my, Christine. This is so gorgeous. I don't exactly understand how all of this went together, but it certainly is a show stopper. You are so talented. Oh, to be you.

This is awesome, Christine! I love how the brown Bister gave it an aged but not dark look! So many techniques! Thanks so much for sharing this with us at CAS Mix Up!
