Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. If you love to use embossing paste with your stencils, then you'll also love to create your own custom coloured paste to use. It is so simple to create custom coloured embossing paste and even if you don't have a lot of colours you can still create with this technique. I used some re-inkers to colour my paste - just as it was the easiest way, but you can easily use your ink pads, watercolours, sprays etc.  I've combined the paste with the beautiful In The Jungle stencil...

Hi everyone!  I've had to swap my day from Monday to Thursday this week due to some unexpected circumstances.

 Hi There Crafty Friends, I hope your all Well!, I have loved using the Distress Inks to build my confidence with water colouring painting.

Well Hello & Welcome I am as you know or may not know a great lover, of the turnabout stamps by Concord and 9th. So always excited to see what they bring out next. Well this month, I was also excited by the large Bold sentiments in the Big On You stamps and Dies. I feel a Bold sentiment gives a modern element to your work. As you can see I used both to create this weeks card.
