CC3- Challenge #4


Another CC3- Challenge #4 Layering Stencils
 
My youngest son turned 13 yesterday!!!!  Yep, 3 teenagers in the house. I spent a few hours yesterday making cards and other goodies for his birthday.  I will be posting those soon.  But I wanted to share with you my first embossing paste project. 
 
I had used a gesso'd page from my mixed media journal.  I stamped the seahorse from nautical blueprint.  A layer of stripes stencil in faded jeans distress paint give it an under the sea vibe!

 
I'm new to mixed media so I don't have any "sprays".  But I did use some of my re-inkers to ink the background.

 
I used my bubbles stencil.  I'm sure I have it too thick.  But that's
OK, I'm learning.
 
 
I stamped my mini's on watercolor paper, inked and then fussy cut.  A coat of clear rock candy makes a great sparkle.


I smooshed some of my bubbles.  I guess they weren't dry yet. 

 

UPDATE; Mix it Up post

With my excitement to show you my first mixed media pages I forgot to add the paste to my pages.  I have fixed my post with an UPDATE...Click HERE for these added photo's!

 
Thanks for swinging by.  Watch for more project I made for my son from ALL my family!  Be sure to check out this challenge sponsor, The Funkie Junkie Boutique!

    Great job! The great thing about mixed media pages is that there is no wrong or right. Just do what you want and it always turns out great in the end. :) It's so much fun! The possibilities are endless. :) Love it!

    This is very cool, Nicole and I don't think your paste is too thick. Its fun to experiment with the thickness of it for bolder or more subtle texture. Great work!

    This nautical themed page is very cool! I love your use of Tim's blueprint stamps on this. The bubbles stencil makes great underwater bubbles, doesn't it? :) Great colors, too. For a first attempt....you did a fab job on this! I can't believe you've not used the embossing paste before....this looks great! :) <3 Candy
