Embossed Balloons

I'm playing along with CAS(e) this Sketch this week with one of my DT cards for Make the Day Special Stamp Store. I picked up the awesome Balloon stencil when the new Echo park goodies arrived in store and I have used it in two different ways on two separate cards...

I've dry embossed the stencil for this card although its a little tricky to photograph the subtle pattern,  here's another shot which shows it better..

This follows the sketch quite literally, I just flipped it 180°. Its a design I probably wouldnt have thought of myself so thanks to CTS... I even used the chevrons :)

                                                           

My second card uses black glossy embossing paste through the stencil and on black card, this technique shows the fab pattern off nicely and I think the tone on tone looks quite classy too..

I went silver and glittery for the sentiment and added a splash of red too :) I love how that glossy paste shines..

More details on both can be found over on my post at MtDS here with links to the products I used too :)

Thanks for stopping by
