Embossed Star Tree



Embossing paste was used on this tree.  There are two kinds of embossing paste.  Opaque and translusent.  When using translusent, you must first put the color down on the card.  Stencil brushes and Color Box Chalk pigment ink were used to put this color down over the brass stencil by Lasting Impressions.  Once the ink was dry, the paste is then swiped over the stencil with a palette knife.  The stencil is removed and the paste is left to dry.  Although the paste comes out white, you can watch it become clear as it dries.  Once dry, the star was layerd onto the card with a bit or raffia.  Baker's twine attached the tag onto the raffia.  Words are by Sweet and Sassy.  Self adhesive gems were added to the tree.
