OCC Background Check - Textured Backgrounds (Day 5)

My other textured backgrounds created with distress inks and embossing paste are dry so here they are:

I blended distress inks on a piece of card stock and then used a Heidi Swapp  circle stencil and covered it with embossing paste and left it to dry.













 For the second background I smooshed distress ink pads onto my craft sheet and then mixed each one with embossing paste.  I put down a strip of Squeezed Lemonade on the left side of the stencil. Then next to that I put down a strip of Mustard Seed mixed paste and then lastly Ripe Persimmon blended embossing paste. I then spread the paste from left to right covering the stencil.  I think it came out really cool!  This is a Memory Box stencil.

Happy Birthday

Another card for my Online Card Class - CAS3 homework.  This is a case of a card that Debby Hughes created for Textural Effects - this is using embossing paste and a stencil.  The Hero Arts butterfly was stamped with Versamark ink and heat embossed with white detailed embossing powder.  I then cut the butterfly mask with the companion die and placed it over the butterfly.  I stamped the Hero Arts sentiment in Versafine Onyx Black and then placed the Simon Says Stamp Falling Hearts stencil over the card front.  I applied Dreamweaver Embossing Paste over the stencil and carefully removed the stencil.  When the paste was dry I colored the butterfly with Copic markers using the colors from the Dynamic Duos Color Challenge

I added 3 small heart sequins around the sentiment which I thought gave the design more balance.
I am also submitting this card to the Moxie Fab World - Stencils and  Card Concept - Birthday.

I'm not sure which category to place my card - I think it might be Clean and Layered due to the embossing paste over most of the card.

Thanks for coming by!
