Let's Squash It! Challenge #14 - Stencil and Emboss

 Hi there, it's time for a new challenge over at Let's Squash It!

Can you believe that we're reached Challenge #14? 


For the rest of this month we're inviting you to combine two of my favourite crafting techniques to stencil and emboss your cards! 

I have to admit that I found this challenge rather tricky at first, but then I had a lightbulb moment and came up with this little card:


For me, the key to mixing these techniques is simplicity - don't go with a fussy stencil and try to use an EF that has wider raised areas such as you have on this gorgeous folder from Gemini called Set in Stone. 

If you want to take a look at how I arrived at this card you can click and take a look at my technique time post.

We have a fabulous guest and she has totally rocked the challenge, so please come on over and join the fun!
