Texture Paste… Get the Look!
Hi readers! Happy Saturday! Please join me in welcoming back Justine Hovey as a guest on our blog! She has been testing out different ways to use texture paste for a variety of beautiful outcomes! Check it out!
For this card, I used white texture paste from Dreamweaver over top of the Tiny Spaced Hearts stencil from Simon Says Stamp. This took about 20 minutes to dry completely. I then stamped a collage of stamps using the Altenew Vintage Flowers stamp set and attached them to my card. My sentiment was die cut from the Simon Says Stamp You’re Amazing Die in black cardstock. Lastly I added some sequins to embellish the card.
For this second bright and fun tie-dye card, I wanted to create a gender neutral birthday card. I used distress inks to create a colourful background and layered translucent texture paste on top using the Bubble Stencil from Tim Holtz. I set that off to dry. In the meantime, I used the Stitched Rectangles Die and cut out a piece of white Cardstock for my sentiment. I stamped the sentiment using Versafine Ink from the Numbered Balloons Stamp Set from Avery Elle. Lastly I added some stars form the Holiday Shapes Die from Simon Says Stamp to complete the card.
Lastly I created my own texture paste by mixing white texture paste with Broken China Distress Ink on my craft mat. I masked off an area using masking tape and spread my texture paste over the Raindrops Stencil from Simon Says Stamp. To add my sentiment I die cut the Wishing die from Simon Says Stamp and heat embossed the sentiment using white embossing powder on black cardstock from the Sending and Wishing Stamp set. I attached my card base to my card front using the Big Momma Foam Tape.
