The technique for this fortnight is a background technique that is once again using either JAC paper (double-sided sticky paper) or a Zyron machine (one that will cover either 2-1/2" or 5") to add sticky to our card stock to create a beautiful background using stencils and embossing powders. It is best to use contrasting colours of embossing powders so the design of the stencil will stand out from the background embossing. Place your chosen stencil down over a sticky background taking care not to touch the exposed sticky with your fingers, Sprinkle your first colour of embossing powder over the whole card, (this is your background colour), carefully tap off the excess and remove the stencil. Then sprinkle the second contrasting colour of embossing powder over and it should stick to the exposed sticky bits left that your stencil protected. Tap off excess and heat! A wonderful metallic background that once again, the computer does no justice to.
