What do you do when you open your Embossing Paste and it’s totally dried up, as it happened to me today.
I wanted to do the challenge and hubby was out for the morning???
So I went down stairs and found his spackling compound and used that.
The card is white linen card stock.
The main piece is water color paper that I sponged with Distress Victorian velvet ink.
Once dry I applied the compound through a Lasting Impressions brass stencil, pulled off the stencil and allowed it to dry.
When it was throughly dry I applied it to the card front.
To finish I stamped the verse, unknown company, with the Distress ink and trimmed it before foam taping it over the main piece.
This is so beautiful and elegant. I love how you turned the square around, the white embossing on pink and the wonderful sentiment. Thank you for joining in at CAS Stencil.
