I have three cards for you so let's get started. First up I used Petals to ink up and embossing paste up a panel which I then proceeded to cut apart ;)
Distress inks - Shaded Lilac, Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch
embossing powder
I wasn't really happy with the inked panel after I'd applied the embossing paste. This is dried up Nuvo paste I revived by adding water but it's changed some of its properties I fear and I didn't like how the center of the bloom looked. I thought I'd try cutting the image apart, adhering a few strips with dimensional adhesive and then covering the center with a nice, big die cut word! The inside reads "happy". I'm happy with the result.
Next up I figured I'd give two of the cool graphic stencils a go. I inked up a panel of Neenah CS with Twisted Citron, put down the Brick stencil and applied Cracked Pistachio and then put down the Rubber Bands and applied Mermaid Lagoon. Ta da!
Distress inks - Twisted Citron, Cracked Pistachio, Mermaid Lagoon
I die cut the panel into three manila tags and added a whimsical die cut tree to each. Added the sentiment and will use this as a sympathy card.
For my last card today I started with a gelli plate background from my stash. Stenciled the lovely girl, made a mask to stencil some roses onto her hair and then used embossing paste colored with acrylic paint through the Petals stencil to add interest to the corners.
Distress inks - Barn Door, Black Soot
aqua acrylic paint, embossing paste

Wow - just wow! That memories card is fantastic.
Great take on the new stencils! I have to say that first card with the background cut into strips is brilliantly gorgeous!
I especially love the first one, how you split up the image. Very cool.

Wow! I love the looks you achieved using stencils. They are so gorgeous!
Amazing projects
Your bold colors are so inspiring!
These are so cool! I really like the first one and I really like the sparkle in the center, even if you didn't think it turned out that well. It looks fabulous to me!
Cool cards using these stencils.
Wow! Some great ideas. Love the stenciled and then sliced panel. Stamping on/off the stenciled tags, I have to borrow that idea. Hope you don’t mind. Like how you mixed the stencils and medium on the birthday card too! I will be using your ideas to inspire me.
Great examples. I like the layers and the attention to details.
Great use of these wonderful stencils!!
Very artistic! Loving your amazing creation!
Wow, fabulous! Bold, graphic and amazing projects.
I really heart out the Petals 1 and 2 stencils. Great job.
Really cool cards, Maria! I like the creativity on your final card! I love the look of stencilling and would like to incorporate more stencilling on my cards! Thanks for this awesome new release and gorgeous inspiration!
WOW I'm loving all 3 cards but think the first one is just genius! Who would of thought cutting the stenciled background up like that? Certainly not me in a million years lol. Fab inspiration. Thank you X X
amazing cards, I love the blue one!
Such cool effects with your layering of the stencils!! I esp love the roses in the lady's hair. So pretty and romantic.
