Happiness is Homemade

Well I'm off to visit my mum and other family members with our daughter and the little granddaughters this evening, for a week ... the girls are so excited to be flying in a big plane, so I thought I'd add this post for the CAS Stencil April challenge - Embossing Paste/Gels, before I go.
While playing around with my texture paste for the design team post - I mixed up  toooo much paste with Distress Oxides and had leftovers - I quickly mixed all the colours together with some Pearl Powdered Pigment (- that didn't show too well) and applied it to my cream card over this stencil... removed the stencil, let  it dry, replaced the stencil and inked with Versamark and added Super Sparkle embossing powder, I carefully heated it and it melted nicely to the paste...it's quite sparkly.  Of course then I didn't have a clue how to use it and after staring at me for ages and trying different coloured card against it I decided on the kraft card.  Then thought it did look a bit like a patchwork wall hanging, and this fancy die looked a bit like a hanger... I die cut and glued two for the top and trimmed two for the bottom rail and to finished stamped my sentiment in brown and clear embossed.  Thanks for visiting, I really appreciate it - have a great week, I know I will
