Morning! I'm back to show you how I used the stencil with some texture paste. I looked around blogs and YouTube and saw dozens of recipes for homemade texture paste and in the end I found this was the combination that worked best for me:
1 part white acrylic paint
1 part baby talc (although I kept adding talc at the end till the consistency looked right)
1/2 part PVA glue
I then took some and dolloped it on top of some Evergreen Bough distress ink I had splodged onto the craft sheet. This gave the paste a nice mint green colour. I taped down the card and stencil to the craft sheet and spread the paste over. It dried quite quickly - 20 - 30 mins - and I found if I tried to speed up the process with the heat gun it started to bubble which also gives a nice effect but if you want a smooth effect leave it to dry naturally.
I added a sentiment from a Stamp & Cut Hero Arts set and some sequins and mounted the card onto some grey cardstock. Done!
I'd like to enter this into:
See you tomorrow with a card using the other stencil I bought.
