Happy Mail

I was thrilled when I picked up my mail yesterday to see that the 

embossing paste I'd ordered had arrived! I love happy mail!!

I've never used embossing paste before and I'd been waiting eagerly to play with it. 

I just have to say that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!! 

The texture that it gives a card is simply fantastic!!! And the fact that you can make 

it any color you want - well that just makes me smile!

I used two or three drops of crumb cake ink and mixed into a little bit

of the paste. I used the Tim Holtz burlap stencil and a regular butter knife to

spread on the paste. When I pulled off the stencil I think I literally squealed 

with delight. 

 After it dried, I decided to just layer things on, and make it a birthday card

since I seem to be needing those lately. I know I have a punch that would punch

those flowers out beautifully but I cut them out this time as I wanted very little of

the white showing on the edge. 

Looking at it now I have another idea  :)
