My card:  I had never used the embossing paste before.  I found several YOUTUBE videos showing how to mask off the areas of your card or project.  I enjoyed the process and the results.                     
The inside
I also used the copper embossing paste on a piece of
white card and cut it to use on the inside of my card.


Stamp - Diva Hopper (HHQ01) Stampendous
Inside sentiment - old, me and Carrie Lou
Stencil - DreamWeaver - Cherry Blossoms (LG644)
Dreamweaver Metallic Copper Embossing Paste(DWDPC)
Paper - Metalic Copper Textured and white Card Stock - DCWV
Designer paper - DCWV
Dies - Spellbinders
Fancy Doily from a restaurant under a cup of tea
bow - Martha Stewart
Star Dust Stickles
White Liquid Pearls
Colored with Copics

As an extra incentive to HOP with us, I am offering this House Mouse
Stamp to one lucky person who leaves a comment on this post and
is a follower of my blog.


We hope you will join the fun and hop along with us.  So many possibilities to add
texture and color to your backgrounds with a stencil and the embossing paste.
This Challenge runs through Saturday, April 9th at midnight.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.  Until later.....

I am addicted to house mouse rubber stamps. Cannot afford them anymore but you do them justice. I would love to get some of the older ones. Surprized they have not come out with die cuts. I watch your blog often. Love it.
