SAILING GRUNGE

I've been thinking that I haven't used my embossing paste for a while and discovered that it was going a little hard. I mixed it up again and it's usable so it's going to get a workout this week!

Using one of the new stencils in the Holiday Catalogue I spread the embossing paste onto a piece of come Sail Away DSP and left it to dry. I diecut the rope once, the knot four times and the 'thingys' that go on the compass in Soft Suede card. The 'thingys' (technical term I know) have been covered with the fine tip glue pen** and left to dry and harden. Once they were dry, I attached them to the compass with a small brad.

After stamping the compass image onto Very Vanilla card, I punched it out with the 1 3/8" circle punch and punched another Very Vanilla circle with the 1 3/4" circle punch. * I stamped the congrats in Granny Apple Green ink and diecut it. All of these were sponged with Soft Suede ink.

Once the embossing paste was dry I roughed the DSP using the edge of my craft knife, intentionally cutting in one or two places. I then crumpled the DSP and sponged the creaselines and all around the edge. I glued the rope onto the DSP, cut off the excess and adhered this to the card front, making sure NOT to smooth out the DSP too much.

* If you don't have circle punches you could use the layering circles dies.

** Or you could use Stampin" Up's new Shimmer Crystal Effects available soon in the Holiday Catalogue coming out 1 September 2019.
