Embossing Paste

Okay, I know that I was planning to do a post highlighting each of the cards from the So Sayings kit (and I will) but I am so excited by this card, that I had to share it with you today. I was not sure that the embossing paste and I would get on and didn’t put it on my first order but I got some yesterday. And wow, is it fun?! AND easy to use.

I used one of the palette knives and put a little of the embossing paste onto a silicone craft mat and added a couple of drops of powder pink ink refill, adding a little more until I got the shade that I wanted. I mixed it well although I’m planning on making a card where it is NOT all perfectly mixed in, I think that will be fun too. I then used some post-it note tape to hold down one of the Pattern Party Decorative Masks on top of my thick whisper white card base and just applied the paste on top, spreading it like butter. Having read the warnings, as soon as I was done applying the paste, I went to rinse off the mask, the silicone mat and the palette knife – and not a moment too soon. It really dries fast.

Another new purchase was the Celebration Time stamp set which I overlooked on my first time through the catalog. It’s awesome especially with the matching Celebration thinlits dies – here I’ve stamped the image in berry burst on powder pink and cut out the cake using the thinlits. There are some really fun shapes to cut out here. I’m almost giddy with excitement – there’s so much to play with that it’s hard to know what to do first – there are new tools and I love all the new in colors! I popped up the cake on dimensionals and then added some of the new berry burst glitter enamel dots.

I’m really pleased with how this turned out – isn’t the texture wonderful? And there are three more designs in the pattern party decorative mask set to play with…
