Hello again,
We are enjoying some lovely Autumn weather here in Australia, clear blue skies, and great weather for the local fire brigades to do some preventative burn-offs of the undergrowth. We currently have three fires burning in the valley on the north side of the village, in our case the Grose Valley, which is more fire prone at least in our area due to wind and conditions in summer months.
I am again joining in with the lovely ladies at Group of Seven this month's product is Embossing Paste, I have one art store nearby who knows how to charge accordingly, Christine had a recipe to make your own embossing paste which is very similar to the one from Shaz in Oz.
I mixed embossing paste
20g White Paint
10g PVA glue
mixed in an empty yoghurt cup until smooth, adding water as it thickened slightly. I used old plastic gift cards to spread the embossing paste over the stencil.
I did not plan on storing this so used it until it was gone. I managed to make 13 pieces and used some plain as is, and others used Distress Oxide re-inkers to add colour.
My first card has a mix of three distress oxide colours added over a leaf stencil from a magazine set called fabulous foliage. I added clear embossing powder after removing the stencil and heat set it a couple of hours later. Sentiment layered in black and the same dark green cardstock.
What I used:
p.s. Many Thanks for taking the time to stop by and leave me a comment, I truly appreciate them all.

Your card is stunningly creative with its blend of vibrant distress oxide colors and the clever use of homemade embossing paste. The leaf stencil design stands out beautifully against the textured background. Thank you for visiting my blog, and I hope you return to see more of my creations!
