I tried embossing paste.
By Suzanne
The August Card Kit from Simon Says Stamp has a fun Moroccan tile stencil in it, so I bought some embossing paste to try with it, and here is the result when combined with some of the patterned paper and the flair from the same kit. Hopefully you can see it in the photo. I am impressed that my first try was not a total disaster! I’m also surprised that the finish on this once it dries is not shiny or smooth - it has a very nice, somewhat rough texture.
I think you can add color to the paste in a variety of ways, so I am going to have to explore that! Either way, this is one heck of a fun kit!

Do you just apply it and let it dry or heat set it with your heat gun? Love your card.

You got fabulous results with it. I ordered that kit too. Mine should arrive on Monday and I can hardly wait to play with it! Thanks for the inspiration!
