Embossing Paste Wedding Cards


The card layers from the Soft Sayings kit strike again! These masks are looking very well-loved on my desk lately. I was curious how it would look to spread embossing paste through the entire mask and then cover it with embossing powder. It's a little messy-looking, because I wasn't going for a precise look here. I wanted lots of texture and sumptuous metallics to really take over the cards.

For the Bermuda Bay card on the left, I used silver embossing powder. Be fairly quick to add the powder before the paste dries. Then I added a clear-embossed sentiment on vellum, because I couldn't bear to cover up all that yummy embossing.

For the card on the right, I used a piece of Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper that was calling to me from my cutting table. "Use me! Make me prettier!" All the pretty new things keep me up at night with their demands! Copper seemed to be the best color for this paper, so I used the diamond mask (you could also die cut your own with the Eclectic Layers Thinlits) to spread embossing powder, then quickly added copper embossing powder. I used the same sentiment because it was still out on my desk. A copper foil layer was all that was left to add!

Show me in the comments what you're making with embossing paste!
