Sparkle and Shine Day 5--Embellishment Mousse

In this lesson presented by Stephanie Klauck, I learned something I didn't know.  I have a lot of Stickles, and basically I just use them for accent dots, or for a little glitter highlight on something.  I found out you can squeeze some out on your craft mat, and use a palette knife and spread them through a stencil.  I think they will get a lot more use, now that I learned that little tidbit! 

However, I chose to make a card using the ideas presented in the third video, presented by Shari Carroll, who used embellishing paste applied with an ink blending tool through a stencil.  I've recently purchased some Nuvo Embellishing Paste, and have used it a few times, applying it through stencils with a palette knife which added a lot of texture, or using my finger, which was messy and harder than I thought it would be. 






I was amazed at how easy it was with the blending tool.  Just a couple of dabs into the paste, and it went onto the card front smoothly and easily.  It was much easier to blend it, too.

I was delighted with the results, and made it into a "Thinking of You" card.
