Hello Friends, Happy weekend to you! I am back today with two more cards using some translucent embossing paste. Creating these cards are super quick and so much fun too.
Just add some distress ink first on the white card stock. Stamp the sentiment with a bold ink like this one. Mix a little distress ink with some translucent paste and slather on top of the sentiment. Â (I thought this was going to be a flop and I left my studio and when I returned I was so surprised how the sentiment appeared to rise to the forefront!!) Die cut this awesome large sentiment from Mama Elephant and pop it on your card with some foam tape.
This card was done the same way but, using a stencil on the bottom layer with some distress ink. This and this are the stencils from Simon that I used on this card.
Watercolor paper on this card gave me some added texture.
Tape another stencil on top, add a little color with some distress ink to some translucent embossing paste. Give it time to dry and then die cut Simon’s “Big Hello“. I hope I explained it well enough but, just give a try and it might make more sense.
The card on top you will find in this post. I hope you give this fun technique a try. Hope to see you soon and thanks for your visit today. Hugs,Kathy

Hi Kathy, Such awesome cards, love the technique and I will definitely be trying this one out. I love those Distress mini inks, I think I have them all now. I just started buying 1 or 2 every time I put in an order and before I knew it I had them all. Thanks and have a Great weekend.
Love the cards, Kathy!!! Thanks for the inspiration!
Love your cards, Kathy! Thanks so much for inspiring us to use our stencils in such a unique way! Have a great weekend!
These are really cool! Can’t wait to give this technique a try for myself! TFS!
Awesome sauce lol .. Wonderful cards Kathy. Great technique..definitely going to give it a try..
Lovely cards. I just love the look of embossing paste with stencils. I never tried adding color to the paste but will have too. I only have the white paste but like the look of the transparent with adding colors.
I really didn’t think of adding color to translucent but it makes sense that it would look like a tint. That’s a great idea!
Hi… Kathy, it looks very fun technique… should give it a try…
I have a doubt, if we die cut piece which has been embossed with paste, then wouldn’t it spoil textured piece…? Please help me out…
Thank you…
Hi Swapna, I had no problem with the texture paste getting mucked up. I hope you have good luck like I did. Thanks 🙂
Wow! The before and after difference of the sentiment when the paste was wet/dry is HUGE! Lovely card!
