I have had fun using stencils, paste and heated enamel...
Here is today's card.....
I coloured embossing paste with grey acrylic paint and popped it through the tree stencil.
Whilst the paste was still wet I sprinkled shabby pink embossing enamel on and heated it.
I die cut the bunnies and then used them as a stencil and used the same technique.
Finishing off with a stamped sentiment and a cute little pink heart x.
I love using stencils with embossing pastes as this adds wonderful dimension.
Whilst my mediums where out I made a second card.....
I used a couple of different colours of liquid pearls on it first and then the shabby pink enamel.
This gave my blossom even more texture, colour and dimension.

WOW...both of these cards are absolutely incredible Mac! I just LOVE the tree image you used and making your paste gray was a brilliant idea! The pink enamel is the icing on the cake though...oh my gosh I am totally in love with the look! And those 2 sweet bunnies are the perfect finishing touch! You nailed this challenge Mac...lovely, lovely cards!! :0)
OH! These are too too Gorgeously Beautiful. Love the pink and grey.

Two amazing cards Mac! LOVE the stamping all done in gray. Really makes the pink heat embossed paste POP! What a great idea to use shabby pink enamel. I need to get some to play with! :) And how cool is building up the image with liquid pearls and then adding the pink enamel. Love seeing you experiments which ALWAYS turn out amazing! xx
How clever you are, Mac! I love that you chose gray for the tree and bunnies, and how you added so much lovely sparkle with pink embossing enamel! Two really beautiful cards! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at CAS Stencil!
What a gorgeous tree (weeping willow maybe??!) both are so pretty in the pink but I think I do like the added color in the 2nd best! So clever to use the negative die cut of the bunnies for a stencil - love the heart above their kiss and the cute white cotton tails! A wonderful design using paste and stencils Mac! xx
Ok... so I am just picking my jaw up off the floor (AGAIN).
If I lived near I would be breaking and entering and stealing these cards!
AWESOMENESS PERSONIFIED Mac.
Love from the little green monster xx
OMG, Mac...Absolutely Stunning cards, my friend. I loved how you used your stenciled trees and added your embossing paste with mixed media products. Making a stencil by die cutting your bunnies was a wonderful idea. Your bunnies are perfect for your Easter Card. TFS your close up photos of your Gorgeous shimmery textured trees too. So pleased you joined us at CAS Stencil Card Challenge. Hugs...Nancy
What a gorgeous tree with all the pink shine! Darling little bunnies, too!
Wonderful soft colours - so perfect for spring! Love all the texture you got from the paste and the embossing enamel. Great to see the difference adding the liquid pearls made.

Absolutely gorgeous, Mac ... so charming ... a great combination of folk art bunnies and fairy tale trees! The texture is stunning ... especially those shabby pink enamel flowers cascading from the branches! Hugs, Anita :)
Beautiful! The pink and grey together are such a fabulous combination. I actually have two pots of the sparkle embossing paste that have never been opened, so I may need to have a look at using them as it's always good to try something new and a little out of our comfort zone. It's a gorgeous card x
I love the twitterpated bunnies under your trees! Thanks for joining us at Watercooler Wednesday Challenges!
Your card is just stunning Mac!! I just love everything about it! So special. I would love to try this technique myself!
How beautiful are these, those subtle colours seem to melt into the card letting those sprinkled liquid pearls and encrusted powders take the limelight. You always amaze me how you can use so little and give so much! Incredible..
Hugs Tracey xx
Such a delicate combination of colors, very feminine. And the choice of stamp has made your card so much light. I can almost feel the gentle breeze that lifts these beautiful flowery twigs. In particular, I love the second card, where flowers have even more extra dimension. Stunning designs, Mac.
hugs,
BozenA
