Have you ever......?

[Wendy]

Have you ever created such a wonderful piece that you don’t want to use? .... which would mean having to give it away! Here are two pieces I made with embossing paste (which I coloured with inks) using Kite stencils from JudiKins on glossy card stock. I’m keeping these! Anyone else kept their favourites? Do you want to share?

They came out great Wendy. Now you can always make more.....the flower child

I have a huge stack of them!
I make ten or more when I need one.
I love to use paste through a stencile then put on embossing powder on, let it dry overnight,heat emboss the powder. You get a porcelain look. Some of my embossing powders get used seldom so it is a surprise! And beautiful but not for the stamp I was going for. I have lots of those papers!
When you get out all the supplies why not make a lot!

Yes, I do have backgrounds that I love to keep! I also make a lot of backgrounds when I have all my stuff out.

Here are 2 backgrounds I made using embossing paste. The swirl one was made by using translucent paste. When it dried I used color bursts over the top, spritzed with water and wiped off the excess color on the paste.

On the lattice looking one I used white embossing paste, added various colors of ep when it was still wet and heat set it.

As you can see I am still holding on to these! LOL!

April, I can see why you’re holding onto these creations! They couldn’t be duplicated no matter how hard you tried! LOL

Beautiful Wendy and April. I agree, it is such a problem parting with beauties like these. You have given me some ideas, thanks for the inspiration. Hugs, DebRN

Hee hee, YES me too. I have many of the post cards that I've made from just playing around. There's always ones that I think are so nice I don't want to give them up. But, I'm learning to make duplicates while I'm in "that creative mode." I'm not as resistant to using the duplicates on the cards I send. Also, over the years, My friend MaryJo McGraw taught me to work on larger pieces of paper, so when I'm finished I have several post cards that are perfect for cards to send and part to keep to and admire.

Yes, I have made things that I won't give away. If it is a card, I put it in my samples. I love both your samples, Wendy and Stampwilly.
