H2H - Texture It

Welcome to this week's challenge at Heart 2 Heart. 

It is a technique challenge this week - specifically TEXTURE. 

Add some kind of texture to your project for this challenge. 

I went with texture paste as my medium... I created stencils a while ago using the Artbooking Cricut cartridge and I pulled out my circle one for this purpose. It is a small stencil so I had to reposition it several times to cover the card from corner to corner. I mixed texture paste with the Wisteria Shimmer Brush to get the correct colour for this purpose. 

Once the paste was dry, I stamped and coloured the flowers and leaves and cut the black and white pieces. Everything was positioned and the sentiment was added at the bottom. The lines of the flowers were brushed with the Clear Shimmer Brush. Thin foam tape and regular foam tape were used to add some additional dimension to this card. I also coloured some silver glitter gems and added them the centres of the flowers. 

The inspiration for my card came from Narelle Farrugia, whose artwork I love! 

Come and join us at Heart 2 Heart and show us your projects with texture.
