Pattern Party

OH MY - the Pattern Party decorative masks in combination of the embossing paste is just too cool. See my card and then don't forget to scroll down on a little picture tutorial to show you how easy it is to do...

And here is a close up on the paste detail

Tips:

1) be sure to secure your cardstock to work area before adding mask over it

2) use Washi Tape to secure mask in place

3) use post-it notes to cover areas that don't need paste on it

4) cover with paste as desired and scrape off extra paste with long knife for smooth look

4) clean mask and knives immediately, do NOT let paste dry on mask!!!!

Oh and if you wondered how I came up with this vibrant color combo... I didn't! I played along here:

This is what the challenge post said: "The generic colors are Raspberry Pink, Yellow, and Green.  For your paper-crafted creation, please use just these 3 colors with any neutrals you'd like to add." 

The colors that I chose are:

Berry Burst

Crushed Curry

Emerald Envy

If you haven't ordered the embossing paste yet, you really should add it and the knives to your next order so you can have this much fun too ;-)
