Compendium of Curiosities 3 - Challenge 4

Happy Friday!  My weekend is off to a crafty start, I managed to finish my COC3 card like, twelve hours early.  WOOHOO!!!  The lovely sponsor of this week's COC3 Challenge is The Funkie Junkie Boutique!

The challenge this week is #49 Layering Stencils with Texture Paste.  If you don't have a copy of Compendium of Curiosities 3, you can order a copy here.  I didn't actually have any texture paste and realized this too late to order any, so I got onto Pinterest and made my own!!

I actually had to make three batches.  The first one, with flour and baby oil, was a DISASTER!  The second one, with flour, paint and Mod Podge, never ever got blended and smooth.  It stayed clumpy and I'll have to make a post with a photo of how it turned out 'cause it wasn't good.  My third try was a keeper!!  Baking soda, paint and Mod Podge.  Awesomeness.  The only issue I had with it was that it didn't really resist ink at all.  So with that in mind, I altered the original plan for the my project and created this.  I didn't wanna risk tearing my ink blending tool on the texture paste so I used Distress Stains instead and I think it was a great idea.


Now if you're wondering where the texture paste is, I'm going to show you!


See the stars in the background?  I left the middle section intentionally white to create a red, white and blue background.  Then I stamped overtop the entire tag with Archival Ink.


In this photo you can really see the stars in the red section.  They stay a bit lighter than the background but still take color.

I'm entering this in just a few challenges:
Thank you SO much for looking and happy crafting!  Laters!
