Believe in Yourself

Hello and Welcome to Trend Week at Just Us Girls.
Hosting this Challenge is Bobby choosing
Texture Paste


I recently received a few new stencils in the mail
and wanted to try them out. 
The ARTplorations Faces - Gorgeous is one I chose.
I had the background in my Bit Box 
thinking it was nice and feminine. 
I used DecoArt Texture Sand Paste which gave the stenciling
a gritty raised effect. I also got some Art Alchemy Metallic Wax
in Vintage Gold so giving it a go using my finger
through the stencil after the paste was dry
it added a dramatic result.
If you haven't used these waxes before you will be pleasantly
surprised with the lovely smell that lingers on from them.
I then heat embossed my sentiment
 from STAMPlorations Bloomful with gold powder.
Cut it out with a stitched die, framed it in white
and popped to white card base.

Pop over and see what our Guest Marlena
and the Team created using Texture Paste
and come join in this week with this
'Oh so Popular' Trend.
You could be our Chic of the Week going on to be
chosen as our Guest in August.

Till next time - Cherrio from
