Texture paste is found at most hobby stores and is pretty inexpensive. They come in a variety of colors, but for today's tutorial, I am using white. I am going to show you how to make "frosting" for all of those cake stamps you own, as well as make some fun seashell embellishments. This is all you need.......texture paste, sand, seed beads.
I stamped this cupcake from the Sweet Stuff set by Crafty Secrets and colored it with my Copics.
Then I.......
Here is my finished cupcake jar!
Doesn't it look like real frosting?
For this card (Which was posted a couple of weeks ago, so I apologize for the re-run!) I spread texture paste around the entire perimeter of the card. I used my finger to spread it, and then sprinkled those seed beads again.......
The card image was from the Girlfriend's Creative Scraps!
Now, on to those seashell embellishments! : )
Just punch a hole in the top with a hole punch and thread some jute or twine and attach it to your card!
The main image is from the Crafty Secret's Seaside set. Both cards were colored in with Copics. The card on the right had some paper piecing for her dress and hat.
I had to create a starfish too!
I even texture pasted my brads and covered those with sand too! I hope I've inspired you to try this fun medium!
Check out the other gals to see the fabulous tutorials they've come up with!!!
