Let's be honest, I am not always up with the hottest trends. I tend to contemplate and consider things for a while before I commit to them. However, I've been seeing a few folks playing with modeling paste to add texture and I wanted to check it out. So I did. I picked up the paste from my local craft store.
I played with the paste a few times to get the look I wanted. I added some color using some of my mists. The firecracker sprays, which I love on paper because they are bright, came out in pastel hues (not as bright). This look works for some things, but wasn't what I was looking for here. I wanted bright striking colors and The Mr. Huey mists worked well, keeping the color very close to what it was in the bottle. I finally settled on using those mists for this project.
Now here is my card. I used this fun Chalkboard DP from We R Memory Keepers. I stenciled the flower (Martha Stewart) using the colored molding paste I created. I was able to use red for teh flower and green for the base. Once I pulled the stencil off, I decided to add some glitter before the paste dried for just a little fun touch. I put this on the base and finished off with the sentiment (Sweet Stamp Shop) embossed on vellum and some white enamel dots (BasicGrey).
I love the sparkly finish of this card and really enjoyed playing with the modeling past for the first time. Wahoo for being trendy! For today's Question of the Day, I want to know if you have used modeling paste yet? What has been your favorite way to use it?
Thanks for stopping friends! I appreciate every visit and every comment you leave, it warms my heart. :)

You've rocked the modeling paste; you flower is gorgeous, and set against the black/white, so eye-catching! You're behind in trends? Ha, not compared to me! I haven't ever done a splatter, or a mist or a feather! Gahhhh...Oh well. Still love playing with my 'beginner' learnings, like stamping. I need stamping lessons...Have I mentioned lately how much fun it is to visit your blog? Tons!!
