It's nigh on impossible to get an artex patch blended sucessfully in stipple, it will always look like a patch, and a strip where the wall was will look awful when finished.
Best to skim and start from a fresh.

skim it flat mate its not worth the agg trying to patch it up

Scrape the artex back either side of the board edges in a staggered line about 6" back, fix new board in gap scrim & easifill just slightly onto existing board either side, seal with artex sealer, then brush artex over the patch & just onto existing stipple, then stipple it, you'll have to judge wether it's a thick or thin mix by the shape of the stipple, stipple onto old ceiling either side then wet brush the edges & stipple from outside edges into the new artex then wet the edge of new artex on existing ceiling & hit it with stipple pad again to blend it in :RpS_thumbup:
Ps it'll look s**t too
