OCC Stenciled Day 4 Project

 

 

Last day of class!  I tried Jennifer's technique of using embossing powders on top of embossing paste and ended up with a really unique texture.  I have a flame stencil from Crafter's Workshop that I thought would look good with some added color on black.  The big mistake I made was not using any powder on the black paper to begin with.  I had the biggest embossing powder mess that I had to painstakingly brush off the areas that I did not want embossed! 

 

Anyway, I heated the powder before the paste had dried and did get the bubble up effect which looks really cool on this card.

 

 

What a fun class this was!

OCC Day 3 Projects



 

Today was all about using pastes to add texture and dimension.  I recently got a new stencil from Simon Says Stamp called Falling Snow because I have loved all of the wintery projects that I have seen made with it.  However, it also kind of looks like confetti to me, which is how I used it here.  I took Wendy Vecchi translucent embossing paste and colored three globs with it using some Stampin' Up re-inkers.  Then I randomly spread the colored paste over the dots to get a multi-colored effect.  The dots look shiny in real life.

 

 

 

I am also entering this in the Simon Says Stamp Work It Wednesday Challenge, since this is the first time I have used my new stencil.
