Here's my texture projects for today!

I LOVE the feather stencil (LG760)!!  I especially love finding ways to make it look dimensional!  Today's post might be called the "paste and peel" technique because it is pasted as usual (I used metallic gold) and, while the stencil was still in place, I laid a scrap piece of cardstock over the pasted stencil, lightly rubbed it with my hands and then "peeled" the cardstock off to reveal incredible texture!  I carefully remove the stencil as usual.

Next, I utilized the Molten Magic techique by sprinkling 3 different colors of Dreamweaver FX powders (Saphhire, Wedgewood, Navajo Sky) along with Stampendous encrusted embossing powders (Aged Rose, Shabby Pink).  Applying heat caused the colors to melt, bubble and blend beautifully.

For the background, I mixed FX powder with water to create a puddle of paint and proceeded to slop on paint with a brush every here and there to create a blue sky background.  Once dry, I added clouds using the Picasso tool with a white Paintstik and a large stencil brush.  To add a little more definition to the clouds, I went back in with  the Picasso tool with blue Paintstik.

The finishing touch was to add the partially stenciled word Wish from the Birthday Words Stencil (LG704) using Splendor inks.  Here's a closeup of the gorgeous texture of the feather:

I thought you'd enjoy a second card I created with the same paste and peel technique using the Long Daffodils Stencil (LL428).  With the stencil in place and taped at the top, I mixed Richeson acrylic paints, Golden Acrylic Glazing and Dreamweaver Metallic Gold Dust FX for the daffodil and carefully painted in the areas.  I did get a bleed where I didn't want it and cleaned it up with water and a paper towel.  If you look for it, you can still see it!  I washed a mix of water and Gold Dust FX around the flower.  Spring is a partial stenciling from the Four Seasons Stencil (LJ875).  I love those tiny little words!

To really appreciate the texture that peeling creates, here's a closeup of the daffodil before it was painted where I used white matte paste.  Isn't it gorgeous?  There's so many coloring options to go in from here and I sure hope you will give this technique a try!

It's been a fabulously fun week for me!  Thanks for stopping by today and I'd love it if you'd comment on my post before hopping over to the next designer's blog!

I love all the texture—and color—you got in the feather from the combination of the peel-off technique and a mixture of embossing powders and fragments.
