simon says stamp monday challenge: don’t cut, just paste

, , , ,

This week it is all about the paste over on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog. From texture paste to embossing paste to gesso so heavy it's as thick as paste, we want to see it used on your projects. I decided to use a favorite paste of mine to create a mini burlap panel for a friend this week. I love the look and texture of translucent embossing paste over book paper on my mixed media projects. 

Staystrong by cheiron_When I tore the book paper to create the base layer of my project, I noticed that one of the words was shine, and I wanted it to shine through in my project. I layered my stencil over that word and spread the paste. Once it was dry, I added lots of painty layers using some of Dina Wakley's heavy body acrylic paints mixed with a bit of water spray from a Distress Sprayer, then wiped away the areas where I wanted the words to show.

And I love all the drips and blending of the paint colors at the bottom of my panel:
