Textured Embellishments by Jaine

Texture plays a big part in my projects that's why I love embossing so much, but to add embossing on texture paste goes that little bit further in adding even more depth and interest. 

For this card layout I decided on a circle theme taking inspiration from the stamp set Round and Round from WOW! I also wanted a bright vibrant background so went for my favourite green-blue hues over a pink-orange watercolour background.
After cutting and painting my circles I added a light texture paste through a dotty stencil.
While this was still wet I sprinkled Serene from the Riviera Trio set and allowed it to settle on the texture paste. I dried both the powder and paste together and deliberately let the heat tool linger a bit longer. This caused the paste underneath to bubble up slightly exaggerating the depth of texture!

I think what I like the most about this particular embossing glitter, is that mottled finish created with the blend of different sized particles. It's so different.

My First Blog Post And A Textured Thank You.

Oh my goodness this is my first blog post as a member of the WOW team and I have to say I'm absolutely thrilled to be here. It's very nerve-wracking to be delivering my first official post but at the same time I'm so very excited.
Let me introduce myself, I'm Jaine and I'm hoping to help inspire you with my own way of creating and my own style.
One thing I absolutely love in my work is texture. The inspiration for the background to this card  came when I was looking for a gift in a local flower shop and spotted a gorgeous embossed metal box with copper foiling over the embossing. The texture and shiny copper was gorgeous. It was quite distressed and not totally perfect which I also found beautiful. I held the image in my mind until I could try out something similar at home.



For the background to my card base I used texture paste and a stencil to create the raised design. Once that was dry I painted it over with two colours of acrylic paint blending them into one …

EMBOSSING GLITTER & TEXTURE PASTE: GLAMOUR COMBINATION

Hello dear friends! Martha Lucia here to share with you a technique that I love to use to create a glamorous and unique piece of art. Usually I use this technique to create cards but you can make whatever you want.


To make this technique you only need a stencil, texture paste and any color of Embossing Glitter. In my sample I used WOW Midnight Dream Embossing Glitter. Let me show you how easy it is to make this.
First you have to secure your card stock under the stencil. I used the Bold Floral Stencil from Hero Arts. Then apply the texture paste using a pallet or knife until have an uniform layer. 
As soon you finish, remove your stencil and cover the entire surface with the Wow Midnight Dream Embossing Glitter. Let it dry totally before melting the embossing with the heat tool. It can take a few hours, but if you wait enough time you avoid big globes on the texture produced by the heat.
Resize your embossed piece and paste this over the card base.  In my sample I decorate the upper b…
