Well, new to this Annual Catalogue anyway.  I bought my embossing paste, masks and the tools required to make it all work quite a while ago but have only just opened the jar and created some cards.  There are four masks in the Pattern Party Decorative Masks, each one 6″ x 6″.  I created a card using each one and today I am sharing the first card I made.  I had seen lots of pictures of cards that had been made with the Embossing Paste and several videos where the paste is coloured using Stampin’ Up! re-inkers.  So for my first card, I decided to create something of an ombre effect.  I started by adding one drop of Soft Sky re-inker to a little Embossing Paste and added it across one corner of the Whisper White card.  I added one drop of Marina Mist re-inker to the remaining Embossing Paste and added it across the middle of the Whisper White card.  I added one drop of Night of Navy ink to the remaining Embossing Paste and covered the remaining Whisper White card.  I removed the mask and let the paste dry, which doesn’t take very long.  Because I wanted the background to really stand out, I kept the decoration to a minimum.  I attached the embossed Whisper White card to scored and folded Night of Navy card.  I stamped the car from Guy Greetings onto Whisper White card using Night of Navy ink and stamped the greeting from the Thoughful Banners stamp set underneath using Night of Navy ink.  The image was cut out using one of the ovals from the Layering Ovals Framelits Dies and attached to a Night of Navy scalloped die (cut using the same dies) before attaching to the card front using dimensionals.

To decorate the inside of the card, I once more used the same Decorative Mask.  I attached the mask over the bottom of Whisper White card and use a sponge and Marina Mist ink to colour the mask.

All in all I am happy with my first card using this Embossing Paste.  I love the real 3d effect you get and how it has a really lovely texture when you run your fingers over it.

Just to give you a little more information here is a video that Stampin’ Up! released to give you an idea of how to use these great products.

What do you think?  I bet you are really excited to give this Embossing Paste a try on your next project.   I’ll pop in tomorrow with another card.

Bye for now,

Kris
