I got a new stencil and had a play with it this weekend, making 3 cards. It is the My Favorite Things Petal Pattern.
To see what the pattern looked like, I first just sponged it with 3 different distress inks, and then embossed it. The sentiment is from Hero Arts All Good Things, part of my Secret Santa present from Jayne at Christmas! I added a Penny Black Flutters diecut and a tiny pearl.
Next I put plain modeling paste through the stencil.
And finally I tried mixing some reinker into my modeling paste before applying it to the stencil. I went with pale colors this first time, not wanting to waste any of the paste, and I'm thrilled with the results!

other supplies: spun sugar and mustard seed distress reinkers, Simon's Flower Friend (sentiment), vellum tag, Martha Stewart paper tape, Kelly Purkey and Lawn Fawn sequins, Doodlebug pink and yellow Doodle Twine
Some notes: I put the embossing paste on thick 140# watercolor paper this time and it did help with the warping as the paste dried. And I invested in the palette knife set, and they do make a difference, both in getting out exactly as much paste as you need, for mixing in color, and in cleaning up. And they're pretty too!

The Petal Patter stencil makes LOVELY backgrounds for you cards!
The soft colors you have used today make me long for spring!
Lin, I can't tell you how happy I am that you're enjoying stencils and embossing paste! These cards are all so beautiful! Love all three but that last one is my fave! So very pretty with the pastel colors and vellum tag! Nicely done, my friend! ♥
all three cards are so pretty but especially love the last one! thanks for the tip on using the 140# paper - i'll have to get some.
You're going to convince me to jump on the stencil bandwagon yet! These are so pretty. I love the look of the embossing paste of modeling paste, but I think I'll stick with sponging.
Fab cards Lin - I love that you got such different looks from the one stencil! And the vellum greeting layers on your last two are really stepping up the trendy factor to the next level. Love them!! Rx
These are all so beautiful, especially with embossing paste! I like the little bit of twine with a knot rather than a bow -- I'll have to try that. You rocked this class!
These are all really pretty cards Lin.
These cards are all so beautiful... love them all three but that last one is just gorgeous
hugs, Lissy
Wow all three so beautifully done!! Love them!!!
They are all beautiful but I especially LOVE the colors in the 3rd one. Gorgeous!
Wow, you are on a stencil roll Lin. It's fun to see three card designs with the same stencil, it really shows the versatility. I am loving the soft colours of the last card, so very pretty.
I really love seeing the three different looks Lin! My fave is the last card!
All three cards are lovely. The stenciling and the differing techniques make it so much fun to play doesn't it. I can't pick a favorite I love them all.
You have really embraced stenciling in such a beautiful way, Lin! Every one of your cards are absolutely gorgeous! I don't know how you always get such a crisp, clean finish, but I have to say, it makes all the difference!
I may have to put this one on my wishlist now...it's so pretty!
Marvelous - love how you've used the paste. My paste dries in about 20 minutes.

Incredible Lin. I just had to buy that stencil after seeing these. And they all have gone into my Pinterest file.
All three cards are just beautiful, Lin! I especially feel drawn to the third card - and love the strip of pretty paper tape :)
Hi Lin, Just had to tell you that these cards are just lovely!!! Hugs, H in Healdsburg
Stunning cards, Lin! They illustrate how versatile stencils are! Love the pops of black on the sponged card, elegant white on the second card and the beautiful pastel paste on the third - I have stencil envy :)
Absolutely GORGEOUS cards, Lin! They are all so beautiful, I can't pick a fave! Awesome job with your stenciling!
