Getting trendy

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. :)
