And given that there's a fairly long drying time, I didn't know if my technique had improved until several hours later. However, I stuck with it and came away with a couple of samples which I used in making cards.
Not easy to photograph either as the light here was quite dull but I think you can see the gist of the effect you have.
I shall continue to play with the pastes and dig out some more stencils. I'm determined to master it. If only it wasn't so darned messy.

Hi Paul - did you try the white on colored paper? Does it dry opaque or opaque-ish? For the transparent you can also try any kind of matte medium. I use Golden matte mediums in different viscosities a lot, including embossing and as an adhesive.
Cheers,
Susan
Sounds like you really enjoyed yourself with your own treat. :-)
Love the embossed text, the strong graphic design and the little hearts.
The tiny bling adds a little extra.
I'm curious what else you'll come up with, these try outs look promising already.

Thanks for the tips Susan :) I haven't tried white on a colour yet. I have tried the translucent but though it worked fine, I wasn't happy with the stencil shape I used. I haven't thought of using other matte mediums, I may just have to go and try that out now lol. Pxx
Good to see you doing something messy again. They look good to my untrained eye.
*sigh* Utterly divine!!!
I just ordered some of the emb paste today. Hope I can achieve the look of yours. I think I'll try something large and solid and far less detailed than your lovely script. Heehee! BOTH of your cards are delightful! :)
Awesome cards! What stencil are you using?
Tyra it's a stencil by Crafters Workshop - 6x6 - called Art Is..you'll find it on this page...

They look great and your finished cards are both gorgeous.
That's very clever ... And so effective in both colour ways, though I do love the paler one. I can see lots of uses for this technique ...
