I am totally in love with the new Embossing Paste & Colorful Seasons Bundle!!!
My big brown box of new goodies {or BBB as we demonstrators like to call them}
arrived a few weeks ago & I have finally found some time,
in between our two new rescue puppies to play :)
~My Inspiration~
{as if I needed any}
I couldn't wait to try out the new Embossing Paste, so I used that as my
starting point for this card. It comes as a white paste which can be colored
using ink refill if desired. In this card I left it white. I used one of the new
decorative masks over my card stock & simply smeared the paste over it
with a palette knife, lifted the mask off & let it dry. It only takes a few minutes
to harden & you are left with a really neat, raised design. This stuff dries
fast so make sure you close the lid & wash any tools right away.
You can see the effect the paste has in the textured background.
Once it was dry I lightly sponged it with Marina Mist & Soft Suede.
For the embellishments I used the fabulous Colorful Seasons Bundle.
This set has so many stamps & dies in it, all the seasons are covered.
The branches are die cut from copper foil paper, the leaves &
blossoms are in Very Vanilla with the edges sponged in Soft Suede &
touches of gold heat embossing. The main flower is the Pansy Punch &
stamped with a flourish from the Timeless Textures set in Early Espresso.
A little nest of gold thread behind & a gold faceted gem gives it the
finishing touch. I also used the *thank you* sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes.
So my verdict on the Embossing Paste after my first play?
Love, Love, Love this stuff!!!
Can't wait to see what else I can do with it.
