Textural Effects card class

Happy Thursday and first day of spring! This also happens to be my dad AND my daughter's birthday today! Happy birthday daddy and baby girl. :)

Ok so today's class project uses several textural elements on a one layer card. All these effects together have a great impact! First I spritzed and dotted part of my paper with glimmer mist spray, then used heat embossing with clear powder on my gorgeous flower stamps from Paper Trey Ink. Next I colored the flowers using copic markers. Once the flowers were done, I applied embossing paste to just a portion of my TH bubble stencil . When that was dry I added the sentiment, in this case I heat embossed in black, then placed a few glass pebbles and pearls for a finishing touch.


Fun class, though I must admit, this took two tries - first time I totally spaced and slapped embossing paste all over my flowers. *forehead smack!* I was so bummed after all the coloring I did. But it was meant to be so after dinner, I gave it another shot. I'm happy with it. Hope you like this one too!

  8. Too bad about the paste error...you can't scrape or wipe it while wet? Your 2nd card turned out wonderful. I like the spray/spatter too. Hope you all enjoyed the double Birthday Bash!
