Oh, I do love this technique!
I used the floral border stencil that came with a previous issue of Indigo Blu magazine and applied Ranger Texture Paste through the stencil. As soon as the stencil was removed, so the paste had no time to dry, I sprinkled it with embossing powder - a very old powder I was sent by an American friend, called "Sahara pearls", then heat embossed it. I really wish you could see and touch the card in real life - the paste and powder together give it so much dimension, with an enamel-like shine, it's a really fab effect.
With such a detailed border, I wanted to keep the sentiment as simple as possible so as not to draw attention away from it. so I kept to a very simple Hello. Perfect for any occasion - or just because....

I love this technique and the results you have achieved. This is the perfect "just because" card. Thanks so much for joining us at Little Red Wagon Challenge this week!
Your embossed stencilling reminds me of embroidered table linen that my aunt used to make back in the mists of time, a really elegant result you achieved too. Thanks for sharing at P CAS. :)
Perfect and beautiful CAS card. The essence of elegance, which further emphasizes its CAS character.
