Played with embossing paste today.
First I placed the stencil on white paper, masked edges, stamped Holy Family in black, sponged night of navy around edge of ornament. Remove stencil, cover ornament with mask and stamped pine boughs in forest craft and then embossed with clear EP. Next, I reapplied stencil and just put gold embossing paste on the top of the ornament. While it was drying I CAREFULLY colored with water color pencils and aqua pen. After the top was dry, I reapplied the stencil and applied the clear embossing paste over the round part. Stamped sentiment after the rest was dry and trimmed. I had started with a slightly oversize piece-in case I didn't like the ornament placement and wanted to tweak it.
