I'm back sooner than I thought I would. Well, I just felt like playing at PTI's MIM challenge, stenciling with texture paste and using nail varnish for colouring. I do not like bright, bold nail varnish and since these were sent to me as a gift, what better way could I use them for than crafting? So here's what I did.
From another angle making the sparkle visible
Dreamweaver-Shell wreath stencil
homemade texture paste
nail varnish
sand
Papertrey Ink-Edgers #1 die
Spring woods stamp (sentiment)
Using the homemade texture paste, the image was embossed, coloured with nail varnish alone (even the white dots) and sand added. For the sentiment panel, I die cut a piece of the same card stock as the card base, but used the reverse which was slightly darker. Did this for the wavy effect.
I'm entering this card into the following challenges...
