MIM #176: Backgrounds with Embossing Paste


Make It Monday with Laura Bassen! Her video premier, and was she great!
Fun, informative, full of how to's!
Laura, you're a natural!

Coloring embossing paste, using PTI's Cover plates or any die to create our bg.
She made it look easy.
This was my 3rd attempt. The first 2 are further smeared in the recycler!


Modern Cross, Block Talk, & Friendly Flowers Extras Dies,
Friendly Flowers stamp set.
Artist's Loft Acrylic Gesso 
PTI re-inkers: Harvest Gold, Orange Zest, Pure Poppy, Plum Pudding, Blueberry Sky
Lawn Fawn enamel dots

I have a couple more backgrounds on the back burner. 
I WILL be trying this fun technique again!

Thank you Laura!

    Beautiful colours in your paste! I like how you've only done parts of your background with the paste--I was wishing I'd done that!

    I love the embossing on this card! I like how it is random and the coloring is hit and miss to give it a fun distressed look.
