Moving on from the grunge and 'scattered twigs',
 I am now following the videos in
Altenew's course Stunningly Styled Stencils.

The first video shows the technique to use dry embossing with a stencil and, in my case, a Big Shot. Unfortunately I do not have the Altenew stencils, inks and stamps used in the class so I have had to substitute...

I decided to make two examples to see how they came out...basing my makes on ideas from the video. I applied Distress Oxide ink through two stencils using the colours shown picked raspberry, seedless preserves and wilted violet. I am not sure where the leaf stencil came from but the other one is Heffy Doodle.
I then ran the card and stencil (attached with washi tape) through the Big Shot. Here the difficulty is making the correct 'sandwich' to get a good impression. 


You can see the back of the cards showing the impressions.


The next thing I did was heat emboss several stamps with white embossing powder and then paint the images with the same inks. I then cut the pieces out.
These stamps came from

 Stampendous Rose Friend PCS - a stamp set that I won as a prize from Leigh!

and the dragonfly from AALL & CREATE #45


Next I added these scrolls in gold embossing to the opposite corners of the backgrounds.
This stamp is from Joy Clair Bandana Bits.
In the video Jenny used a large scroll embossing it on a separate piece of card before die cutting it and attaching it to her card.

I added some wilted violet to the edges.


I then arranged these items on my November calendar card.


I also made a card in a similar fashion adding my pieces to a white card blank.


The sentiment is from Altenew Dancing in the rain which I stamped in wilted violet.





I will add the card  to Leigh's Linky.

and also to NBUS #17 as this was a new technique and most of the stamps were unused!!

I will also add it to Little Red Wagon's Challenge 563 - Use a stencil

Happy Crafting!
