It's a new week of challenges to share at Simon Says Stamps Monday Challenge. What technique do you love? I love a lot of techniques so I can't pick just one. I went whit what I wanted to play with at the time. Since I love all my stuff really anything works. In this case...texture paste!
Using texture paste adds a stunning element to your creations. I love how it can be inked, stamped and manipulated creating a fantastic layer.
For this canvas I started with a little gesso smeared randomly. Then some stamping and yep, texture paste and stencils.
The Ephemera is growing on me. I am starting to use my huge stash more.
I inked the edges and layered the roses.
I was given an old photo album full of amazing people, places and random stuff all around the 1940's. So I used my distress markers for some colour.
After the stenciled texture paste is dry you can just add distress spray stain. Amazing colour!
I inked up a framed alpha part.
Don't forget the sides for stamping. But don't press hard...let it be vintage looking.
Adorn a metal area and done in no time!
Thanks Flurry for watching over my photo session.

Gorgeous stencilled texture - one of my favourite techniques too (in fact I quite often forget that you can do anything else with stencils!). Love this beautiful collage with its fab background.
