City Crafter 283

Hello...


This week I'm hosting the challenge over at


The challenge theme is "Paste It" and we are asking that you use either 
Texture (embossing) Paste, Crackle Paste or Crackle Paint
somewhere on your project


There are lots of recipes around on how to make your own paste but I've included This link for those of you who wish to use it


I stencilled some embossing paste onto a piece of DP and added some glitter
It's easy to dress up papers that are perhaps a little plain


Our Guest Designer this week is winner of week 277 Karren a very talented lady from New Zealand... click the link to go visit her blog and hop on over to the City Crafter Blog to see what my friends are sharing ... There's a GD spot on offer to this week's winner so I hope you'll be inspired to play along with us...

Thanks so much for stopping by ... enjoy your day

Swoon. So beautiful. Love those paste circles- they do lift the subtle ( but pretty) paper behind. What a lovely Christmas card! x

Karren said...

This is so beautiful and textural! I'd never considered stenciling onto patterned paper - what a genius idea!

Another stunner of a card. Yes the glittery embossing paste enhances the CS. Love how you've gone right up to the edge of the card and also loving the scribbled monochrome background. All beautifully finished off with the very pretty rose and silver leaves and thread. Absolutely gorgeous Ross x

I am a big fan of all your mixed media projects and this is another gem. I still have to learn a lot about using stencils and this is perfect. And you always add an elegant touch. I love it!

Fantastic design Ros. I really like the look of the added glitter to the embossing paste. You can never have too much sparkle. :-)
