Do i use scrim around a repaired hole in artex ceiling ?

I have replaced a piece of plasterboard in a hole i made in my artexed ceiling. It is screwed in place but:-
1:- do i need to put scrim tape around the edge? If so.....
2:- do i need to sand down, an inch or two of artex (or remove it)on existing ceiling around the edge of repaired hole so i can add the tape and then add artex so it will not stand out too far

If you use scrim, get the thin stuff that is used for plasterboard joints, not the old hessian type
