Background: Start with Gypsy Jewels green stripe paper as your background and distress the edges with your sanding block. Place on your craft sheet and paint all four corners and edges with Bundled Sage Distress Paint.
Place the Climbing Vine template off the edges of the upper left background corner and apply white embossing paste over the template with the squeegee, staying within the outer edges. Pull the squeegee across the surface of the template leaving a thin, smooth layer of embossing paste.
Dust the wet paste with Aged Silver Embossing Enamel and heat emboss with the heat gun, drying the paste and melting the embossing powder. Repeat the process on the lower right corner.
Heavily sand and distress the edges of an 11”x11” Gypsy Jewels green ombre paper, tearing off the upper left and lower right corners.

Use the same process as in step-2 with the template and Silver Embossing Paste to create two silver paste stenciled areas, as shown. Note: be sure the paste is placed so that your photo will not entirely cover the stenciled areas. Let dry. Glue on your page center.
