Coloring Embossing Paste {Chain Of Events}

 

Happy Friday!

Today I have a card to share that took an unusual path to becoming this design.  It started with this week's Make It Monday.  This week the focus is on coloring your embossing/ modeling/ texture {whatever you prefer} paste.  I mixed up my colors using WPlus9 Ink Refills in Wild Mango, Sweet Nectar, and Mojito.  I spread it onto my cardstock using this Heidi Swapp scallop stencil and I set it aside to dry.

 

While it was drying I watched this video by Jennifer McGuire where she mentions Tasnim and that she makes videos too.  You know I love to watch videos ;)  So I did a YouTube search for Tasnim.  I found her channel, but also a video she did for Ellen Hutson.  In the video she uses an Altenew stamp set where the images are tangrams.  She showed a watercolor technique using the fish stamp.

 

 

When I went back to check on this piece I had made it hit me!

Fish scales!  I used WPlus9 Quilt Cuts II dies to make tracing templates to create my fish. Finally, I stamped my sentiment from PTI's Friends 'Til The End stamp set.

Inspiration...it's a funny thing!

Who knows where it might lead!
