{Spotlight Project} Vicki Plays with Stamps and Embossing Paste

Hi, all! It's Vicki here today showing you how to easily color embossing paste.

Here is the finished card:

To make this card, you will need the following products:

Stamps: Trendy Leaves, Holiday Sketches: Christmas Candles
Inks: Memento Bamboo Leaves, Memento New Sprout, Ranger Archival Jet Black
Misc.: stencil, embossing paste, spatula, glitter, craft work sheet

STEP 1

Stamp the leaf background

STEP 2

To color embossing paste, smear colored ink on craft sheet. (Sorry, the ink is a light color so it barely shows in the photo.)

STEP 3

Take a small amount of embossing paste and mix it with the ink with a spatula.

STEP 4

Tape the stencil over the card panel, and with the spatula, spread the paste over the stencil.

STEP 5

Remove the stencil and sprinkle on glitter while the paste is still wet.

STEP 6

Let panel dry and adhere onto card base with pop up dots.

Using any color ink is a way to save money from buying colored embossing paste. You can even use silver, gold, or black ink! I love saving money with this fabulous hobby :)

See ya next month!
