OCC - Embossing Paste


http://www.onlinecardclasses.com/CS3/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/CS3_paticipant.png

EMBOSSING PASTE

Embossing paste is an easy way to add texture to a project.  I didn't have any so with the help of google I made my own.
 

I laid down a stencil and just spread the paste over it.  Sprinkled some ultra fine glitter for some shimmer and lifted the stencil. Easy peasy.  It didn't take too long to dry too.  Then I finished the card with some washi tape (I love this tape), a handwritten sentiment, and some rhinestones.

I was having so much fun with the paste that I decided to make another card.  This time I did the opposite.  Instead of using a stencil to create a textured image, I used a die-cut butterfly as a mask.  I just temporarily adhered the butterfly to the card, picked up a glob of paste with my spatula and smeared it right over the the butterfly.  Of course I had to sprinkle some ultra fine glitter over the paste again.  Then I carefully lifted the mask and ta da!! A butterfly set in textured background!


Finished the card with some glitter to the sides, an embossed sentiment, and a large heart rhinestone in the center of the butterfly.

 Okay got to hurry and link up this homework before classes close.
Thanks for visiting.
