Here you can see the tape holding down Bold Florals ARTplorations stencil
I like to make my own texture paste. I make it in this m&m container because the lid shuts tight and the paste will last several days. I make my paste with this recipe: 1 spoon of white school glue, 1 spoon of white paint and 2 spoons of baby powder. (I like buying white school glue this time of year with back to school sales. One year I got a bunch of bottles for 25 cents a bottle.)
I used a pallet knife to spread the texture paste.
This is what it looks like when I removed the stencil.
I cut the stenciled paper and put black cardstock behind it. I cut another piece of the dp and put black cardstock behind it.
I cut a piece of cheesecloth that was bigger than the base of the bookmark.
I added tacky glue to the base of the bookmark.
I scrunched the cheesecloth and glued it down.
I then added the floral layer over the cheesecloth.
I hope you enjoyed this project and that you are inspired to create.
