It’s my final Monday in the designer spotlight on Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge this month, and I’ve had an awesome time making projects for this stint.

This week, the challenge is: Emboss It.

---

For my project, I made an art journal page featuring embossing using stencils.

I started the background by using a round gel plate to apply some acrylics onto the page. I then applied some modeling paste through a stencil. I also applied lines of the modeling paste with a palette knife.

After the modeling paste dried, I pounced acrylics over the embossed area through the same stencil. I then added some acrylics splatters and acrylics drips to the background.

For the focal insects, I used dye ink with stamps. I fussy cut the shapes and roughly inked the edges with distress ink before adhering them to the background.

For the quote, I used a printed sentiment that I hand-traced for a more rustic feel. I inked the edges of the quote strip with distress ink, and adhered the strip to the background. Ta da!
