This past week, turning to crafting has been essential as my husband lost his father after years of dealing with many health problems. We know he is resting now.
I found some time to craft a bit and that was wonderful to get the mind a bit more relaxed. I created the card for the Dostamper Stars 266 and could not pass on the opportunity of using the Beautiful Peacock stamp set along with the embossing paste and mask. Honestly, I never thought I would like the paste that much as it seems messy, but I got the hang of it and love it.
- Keep a shallow tube with water and a drop of soap nearby. As you use the stencils and tools, place it in the water immediately. Makes for a much easier clean up;
- Go easy on adding color. The saturation can happen rather quickly and it may makes for a waste of good paste. In today's card, I used a tool to dab on the ink pad and then add to the paste, making sure to clean the paste as more ink was added. A drop of ink from the reinker bottle can turn the paste very dark;
- Cover your work surface. Again, makes for an easier clean up;
- Give time for the paste to dry before completing the project. I did the paste first, set it aside and work on the other components of the card before adhering it all.
- Above all, have fun!
Hope you have enjoy and learned something today. Have a blessed day. Be well
