Backgrounds with Embossing Paste - MIM

Good morning - this week's Papertrey Ink Make it Monday challenge is to create a background using embossing paste.

Laura's first video is a great one and she showed us how to colour the embossing paste and also to make your own stencils.

I only have 3 reinkers - Pure Poppy, Raspberry Fizz and Hibiscus Burst so that is what I used to mix with my embossing paste. - how many more times can I say "embossing paste"?

Using the Cover Plate Circles Die, I diecut two and glued them together to make my stencil.



After mixing in my reinkers with the embossing paste - yep, I added the different colours to the stencil in an ombre fashion, removed the stencil - went to the dentist and waited for it to dry. - No cavities by the way :)


It makes a very cool and textured background - not so bad!

My sentiment, which is stamped onto a die cut using the Double Ended Banner die, is from the Healing Touch stamp set and of course those gorgeous butterflies just make it perfect!

  3. This is so pretty. You and I were on the same wave length, except I used the Quatrefoil and Life is Beautiful.
