I finally tried Texture paste for the first time 2 weeks ago so had to give this double embossing a try. Today I used some Texture paste that I made myself. I secured my Waverly stencil to some black metallic cardstock and smoothed my homemade paste over the top. After removing the stencil, I sprinkled on Gold, Red & Green Tinseled embossing powders. I never really liked these heavily glittered powders after I bought them BUT I think they will get a LOT more use with this technique. When I heat set the embossing powder, it did give a slightly puffed appearance to my stenciling which made me think of fine Persian tapestries. I really like both the look and the texture from this technique!
Homemade Texture Paste
1 Cup Cornstarch
1/2 cup White Glue
1/4 cup White Acrylic craft Paint.
Mix together to form a super smooth paste - store in an airtight container.

I love how this turned out. I wonder if I have some of that texture paste somewhere in my stash.
