Day two of my stencil class featured embossing paste and ways to use it. I had never even heard of embossing paste and I was intrigued! I kept my card simple today to showcase the paste in the background. It was so easy to use - just spread it over the stencil and let it dry! It adds such great texture to the background. Stay tuned for Lessons 3 and 4!
Cindy has blocked out a great sketch for this week at Freshly Made Sketches!
All those dots, although no Candy Dots, are to die for! Love how it all coordinates with the dots. It's dot-a-riffic!
ReplyDeleteOH how I love this beautiful card. Love the polka dots of course and this is fab with large/small dots in black & white. Very safisticated! hugs.
ReplyDeleteThose little stenciled dots remind me of fresh snow. They look pillowy soft!

I've got to get back to the lessons & do the homework. You've inspired me, Linda, with this beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteAnother striking card, Linda. You are doing a great job with your newfound skills! I especially like the off set back border on the flower panel;)
