Group of Seven Monthly technique -Stenciling Over Heat Embossing

Hi everyone, it's time for the Group of Seven technique post and this month we're playing with some background heat embossing and stenciling over it.

You can check out Gina K's video below and the Group of Seven blog for the supplies and the instructions.

Video:  Stenciling over Heat Embossing by Gina K (5:17)

I found I got better results with the busier backgrounds, even though I really like my snowman, the sentiment background missed a few areas of the stenciling. Also bigger open areas of the stencils show off the background a little more. I really enjoyed this technique and I will be doing it again.
