Wow, Man, Colors!

I was playing with something the other day, something that involved several colors of embossing paste. Since I'd colored it myself, anything I didn't use would be wasted unless kept going and used it up. So, I grabbed a fun Hero Arts stencil and made this:


There were only three colors of embossing paste (my usual red, blue and yellow): Festive Berries, Peacock Feathers, and Mustard Seed. I'd colored two of the blobs of paste with Distress reinkers, and one with Distress paint. The colors you see here are from my attempt to cover the whole stencil with what remained of the three colors of paste, so there was some overlap, which resulted in very cool colors. Like, wow, man. Trippy.

All I needed to do was select a card base and a sentiment, and I was done. Fun, huh? I might have to do this again. :)

Thanks for stopping by!

I'm entering this in the current Simon Wednesday Challenge - Emboss It and the A2Z Scrapbooking July Link-up
