Home made white embossing paste through a stencil and a lovely black sentiment.

 

Homemade Embossing Paste Recipe

1/2 Cup Talc/Baby Powder
2 TBSP White Liquid Glue/Mod Podge
2 TBSP Gesso/white acrylic paint
Water, to adjust consistency

You may add drops of re-inker ink to tint the paste as you desire.IMG_5006edited

If you click on the “homemade embossing paste” tag at the bottom of this post you’ll be able to see the other cards I’ve made with it.

My current recipe has evolved from this recipe here. I have used the same container for over a year, just adding more ingredients as I need more paste. So, my recipe is not exact. The more glue & acrylic paint/Gesso you add, the more flexible the paste will be when it dries.

I hope that you are inspired to play along. Make sure you stop by AAA Cards and visit all of the design team members blogs.
