Stencils can be used with various mediums and this technique is probably one of the simplest ways to add texture to a background. You can use either a clear embossing ink pad to press through the stencil to get your layer of embossing ink down before embossing with your embossing powders, or, you can use gesso to scrape through your stencil and then add your embossing powder while the gesso is still wet. You should leave the gesso method to dry a little before heating with a heat gun (don't worry, the embossing powder will just sit there until you're ready to heat it). If you heat too early, you can get little white explosions coming through your embossing powder. However, this is a cool look in itself so maybe try it this way to see if it works with you have in mind.

(For this one, I
drew along the edge of a city stencil with
a clear embossing pen before embossing to get the
outlines of the buildings)
(The sun rays are glitter embossing powder while the
bird is a JAC paper shape covered with leafing foils)
