On the Woodware blog this week, we are looking at White, yes a bit silly really, so here is my take on white
Although I am rather pleased with the outcome.
Thanks to Pam the Pampered Stamper using flock last week I got my flock out.
I used the Butterfly Duo Stencil and first I used the original white embossing paste from Dreamweaver and while the paste was set wet I added a mix that I had made up of Cotton Ball White Flock and Crystal Glitter. I like to push the flock down when I use it on tape to make sure it has stuck properly, but you can’t do this with the paste as you would spread it out, so dump a load on the paste and them set aside for the paste to dry.
When the paste is dry knock the excess off.
I hope that you can see the glitter and flock in the close up, it adds a nice mix of contrasting textures.
Next I got out my UsArtQuest Dicro Fibres and fused them, I hope that you can see from this photograph that I just fused them along the bottom, not easy to photograph. I like the fluffiness of the fibres, but they are easier to place where you want them if they are fused. They are normally sed with an iron, but I just put some parchment which comes with the fibres over the top of my fibres and rub them with a spoon while I heat with my heat tool. Sorry no photos as it takes 3 hands to do it!
You will find a video from Sue at UsArtQuest about using the fibres here.
So then just a touch of Chunky White deep impressions embossing powder with an added sprinkle of Shaved Ice. The ribbon got a sprinkle of chunky white too and then was heated and shrivelled.
I knotted it after I had embossed it.
And that is it, all white, apart from the touches of twinkle.
