I just got the Ranger solar pastes I'd ordered and spent yesterday playing with them. They are so cool and I wanted to make some cards for the grandkids. The back cardstock was embossed and then I used foam applicators to apply the pastes, which dry pretty fast when used that way. If you use a stencil and palate knife it takes a little longer to dry. I swiped two of the pastes on a piece of black, cut the words from that and then put a black layer behind, to try and highlight a bit. The You and you're were stamped with blueprint sketch distress oxide, on black and attached. I am excited to experiment with the pastes further!
