Inspiration - Challenge #14 - Stencil and Emboss

Hello Squashettes.  It's been a day of distractions, but here I am at last with a little inspiration for our current challenge - stencils and embossing folders.

 

Use any embossing folder and also one or more stencils.  Please make sure you include both parts of the challenge on your card and also check da roolz to ensure your entry will be eligible for the random prize draw!

So here's my card.  I was inspired by Jo's Technique Time post where she used a stripey embossing folder.   My first attempt kinda crashed and burned, but try try again...... 

I used Stamplorations Latte stencil and Sizzix Stripes embossing folder.  

I used Ground Espresso distress ink and stencilled the words on my stitch die cut panel.  A bit messy, cos I didn't bother with masking or such, but it's not gonna matter and I quite like the grungy look.  

I lightly smeared the Stripes embossing folder with the Ground Espresso ink, spritzed with water and embossed the wordy panel.  Then I took the mistake from earlier.....  I had stencilled the cup from the latte stencil and embossed with the stripes folder.  I didn't like it as it was but I fussy cut the stencilled embossed cup, saucer and handle and added them here.  Yes!!

Thanks for dropping by.  Looking forward to seeing your stencilled embossed masterpieces.  Hugz
