Die Cut Stencils and Layered Modeling Paste

 

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!
