Today was one of those days when I didn't know what I was going to make. I have a stencil that I wanted to use and so started with that.
Onto some scrap white card Cosmic Shimmer Lava paste was pushed through the stencil. Before applying heat Frantage gilded fragments, Crushed Glass and Pink ep were sprinkled over it. As I always do when ep is involved I started heating the embossed piece from below only applying heat from above when the ep had started to transform. As soon as the heat came down the paste started to expand and bubble up to meet it.
I was delighted to note that all the Frantage had stayed on! Allowing the piece to cool the ProMarkers came out, Blossom, Leaf and Buttercup. The colours were just dotted on the raised areas to suggest the blooms, stamen and leaves.
It was now that the idea of a tag took hold, so quickly die cut a tag. Then the embossed piece fussy cut not as closely as I usually do because I do not know how the paste will react to being cut into or what cutting into it would do to my scissors! The tag base covered with another stencil and DI in shades of pink ad green dusted over. After that it was just a matter of searching various boxes and stash hiding places to find things to embellish with.
