Modeling Paste Card

Today's card marks something totally new for me. I have been seeing beautiful cards made with different brands of embossing paste and stencils. I finally got some modeling paste from Michael's - made by Artist Loft (Michael's house brand). I decided to give it a try because it's a lot less expensive than the other brands around.  It comes in a tube rather than a jar. Also, it's off white rather than white. But I decided to give it a try anyway.

I was really happy with the results. I didn't get it totally even, but I think that adds to the charm. I layered two die cut flowers and added some hand cut leaves. I popped a sequin onto the flower and a placed a bit of glitter glue in the sequin's center. Then I stamped and heat embossed the Hero Arts sentiment on vellum - stamping on vellum is also new for me. I will come back later and enter some challenges.

Edited to enter these challenges:  Stamplorations August Challenge - Stamps/Die Cuts; PDE Linky Party #17 - Metal Dies or Punches; and The Cutting Edge #8 - I was inspired by the white background and flowers on Kay's card.

Option Create Your Own Challenge at 613 Avenue Create

Hi, Friends! Our Twist for our Anything Goes Challenge at 613 Avenue Create is to Create Your Own Challenge using a chart.  Our sponsors are Rick St. Dennis and  QKR Stampede. 



My image is Rick St. Dennis' 3 Chimney Cottage.  I used the first column:  Image, Patterned Paper, Solid Color Paper,Vellum and a Sentiment:

I did not color the image.  I really like it that way - I think it gives the card a vintage feel, especially with the black and white DP.  The cardstock and DP are from CTMH. My sentiment is on vellum. It was in a package of sentiments gifted to me by a friend several years ago.  I used a Martha Stewart punch on the red paper and colored plain bling with a Sharpie.  The card is 5 x 5.

I'm entering these challenges:  Designer Challenge - Square Card; Creative Fingers Challenge Blog - Anything Goes; and The Sisterhood of Crafters - Black, White and One Accent Color.
