Here's another experiment with modeling paste.
I wanted to know how the paste would look if I layered it and if
I've learned anything from Donna Downey it's that when you say,
"What if...?" then you should go for it!
I created my own stencils using my dies.
First I mixed up the green and applied that using my leaf stencil.
I had to let it dry completely before adding my next color so it was the perfect project to work on while I cleaned the house.
When it was dry I mixed up and added the light yellow flowers, then the orange flowers, then finally the red berries/flower centers.
I love the overall look, but had hoped the layers would have been a little bit more opaque.
That could probably be remedied by using a different medium for tinting the paste.
The paper got all wavy as the paste dried, so I went with it and distressed the edges with an xacto knife to add to the not-so-perfect look. I had also hoped to get those red dots more separated, but because I was placing the stencil on an uneven surface {the flower} all three dots sort of smooshed together. After I accepted the imperfection :) I kinda liked it anyway
All in all I like the look and it was a lot of fun to do!
See you later.
Have a great Sunday!

Oh, wow, this is so cool! I love seeing the new things you've been experimenting with lately, Kara! It's very inspiring!
ReplyDeleteAnother great post Kara. I like the layered look you've achieved here and all the creative experimenting you've been doing lately too. I am curious, if you've tried using the paste on a nonstick sheet, and if you can transfer an element to paper after it dries?
ReplyDeleteOkay...super cool idea! I love how this turned out. I just might have to give this a try.
ReplyDeleteVery cool. What will you come up with next?
ReplyDeleteThis is cool. It looks edible. Lenae

ReplyDeleteLOVING THIS FUN CARD!! Such a NEAT look and a FUN design!! ;) THANKS SO MUCH for sharing and have a FABULOUS WEEK!! ;)
ReplyDeletewhat a neat idea! And I've been saving some plastic packaging for something... now I know what to do.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteThose "berry centers"...I had to keep looking because I was really wondering if you used berries to get the coloring like that...
it's so lifelike!
I love all your experimenting...
especially with results like this!
My experiments sometimes involve the fire department and/or police...
possibly even HAZMAT :(
Way to stretch your stash, my dear! Really love the texture!
