I added a black mat using THIS black glossy...

After it was dry, I sprayed Salvaged Patina Distress Stain on top heavily and then spritzed with water to...
Hello, crafty friends. I’m back with more inspiration featuring products from THIS release… I started by mixing in Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink into the white embossing paste.

I applied the paste through one of the Mini Slimline Patterns stencils on a pink panel cut...

Hello, friends. Today, I’m sharing a winter themed shaker card featuring a frosted window technique… Let’s talk about the technique first. I cut a piece of acetate using one of THESE circle dies. I just used a piece of recycled packaging for the acetate. I adhered one of THESE stencils on top using a small piece of tape towards the bottom (since that part would be hidden). I applied some of THIS embossing paste...
