Using Embossing Paste with Decorative Masks creates something wonderful! This is the last card from August’s Marvelous Masks class that I’ll be sharing with you. We learned how to use Embossing Paste (here, the matte version) at the end of the class session since there’s some cleanup required. The paste hardens pretty quickly — and once dry, it’s probably impossible to remove from the mask. (Similarly, the only part I dislike of making sourdough bread from scratch — once a week, generally — is the cleanup of the dough. Woe to me if I haven’t checked the sink or my arm for dried bits!) The paste is scraped through the holes with a kind of trowel, or with a wooden craft stick held parallel to the mask.
Creating this card from Shaded Spruce was not my first choice, but I needed high contrast to show off those checks. Something about this makes me think of a 1960s-era TV drama about a big city, like skyscraper windows lit up.
It’s difficult to see the texture created by the embossing past on this angled panel, but it’s pretty cool!
