This is an quick and easy way to add extra texture and interest to your plain-ish backgrounds by using stencils and clear embossing ink. The main thing to remember is that your background must be able to withstand the heat gun that is used to melt the embossing powders so papers like photo paper, Yupo or gloss card won't work for this technique. Also your choice of stencil will have an impact on your final look as the more open areas that you have in your stencil, the more your background will be covered with embossing powder so choose wisely. Watercolour card and heavier cardstock backgrounds that have subtle colouring and not heavy patterns will work best for this particular look.
"Be original"
"Echoes of the damned"
"Steampunk"

"I'm not judging"
