I love to use my dies in a different way, and I'm always forgetting about the negatives that dies give, and they make PERFECT stencils! You wouldn't think that this leafy frond die from Polkadoodles would work very well with it's fine details, but it works brilliantly and you can even use the 'stencil' as a focal point too :D Enjoy :D

Here's a different idea on how to use your Hidden Creek Collage Papers :D
Hidden Creek Collection :D
Loved playing around with my Pancake Maker and Embossing Powders, and thought I'd give Chipboard a try, I definitely needed to have turned off the heat sooner and Chipboard is very absorbent, but I got a good result in the end :D Hope you liked the video :D xxx

I promise this is the last video with this stencil hehe :D But I really wanted to try this Monstera Leaf in some different colours with more of my Cosmic Shimmer Spangles :D Also I didn't mention in the video, but when working in batch like this with thick embossing, you might encounter cracking when you adhere your panel to your card blank, BUT it's easily rectified, just gently heat the cracked area and the powder will join back together :D Hope you liked seeing more colour variations :D xxx
