Take Your Cards to the Next Level with Embossing Paste
I had some fun playing with Stampin’ Up! Embossing Paste last week. Through playing, I accidentally created a new technique!
The card I shared last week showed off the results of that first accident, while today’s card shows another background made with the same technique using just Coastal Cabana ink.
The Friends & Family Stamp Set from Stampin’ Up! is so cute and allows the ability to customize people for your paper crafts! You can use it to make an entire customized family! This set is retiring at the end of May, so order it before it’s gone!
I coloured my cute boy with Stampin’ Up! Blends Markers. To create the shadow at his feet, you can use the Light Smokey Slate Blends Marker, then use the Color Lifter over the bottom of the shadow and it will fade it out a bit, softening the edge.
I used Coastal Cabana ink to colour the Embossing Paste, by first applying a small amount of ink directly to the brick patterned mask, then applied the paste over the color, which allows the paste to become coloured and provides a nice variation to the final brick look. I love how easy it is and how cool it looks!
