Thanks for sharing this technique! I have been wondering how to use embossing/ texture paste, the differences in pastes, and where I can find some.

Thanks for the instructional video. Nice card design. I haven’t seen the translucent paste b4. I like the effect.

Have you tried emailing them? I got a response, but it took a while. Also check out the Forum on the main website.

I LOVE the look of embossing paste. I have yet to master it… it always wants to go under whatever I use for a stencil. Took me several tries, but I think I finally have something I can use for the challenge. I guess it just takes a lot of practice.
