Embossed background with stencils

This week's Make it Monday on the Papertrey Ink blog was interesting.  The challenge was to use a stencil to make a heat embossed background.  It's a great idea and seemed so easy to do I had to give it a try.  I went with the lattice stencil from their Limited Edition Garden Gate Kit.  I whipped out four different backgrounds and then went to work to finish them off. 

Here we have a subtle background with the great focal point from Doodlie-Do. 

Here we have a stronger background, also paired with flowers from Doodlie-Do.

For the last two cards I went in a completely different direction.

I love this adorable car.  I wish I had written down where it came from back in the day. 

Hope you like the cards and thanks for stopping by,
