    Using Modeling Paste with ColorSpark Watercolor Powders and Corner Rounder Punch

    June 3, 2024 / No Comments

    Hello crafty friends! It’s Rachel Alvarado from RachelAlvaradoDesigns.com. I have a few cards to share with you showcasing how to mix modeling paste with watercolor powders. I made three cards using The Crafter’s Workshop Light & Fluffy Modeling Paste along with a variety of TCW ColorSparx Watercolor Powders and the 1-2 Punch: Corner Rounder + Notch. The technique of mixing modeling paste and watercolor powders is super easy to do and can allow you to get some vibrant colored backgrounds and/or designs on your cards.  I love how versatile these watercolor powders are because you can also mix them with water to create liquid watercolors to use on your cards…

    Hello! Jean Manis here to share inspiration for impactful stenciled card backgrounds using the Light & Fluffy Modeling Paste and Baby Baubs White Glitter.

Modeling Paste and White Glitter For subtle, understated shimmer on a stenciled background, add white glitter to modeling paste.

    Creating Unique Backgrounds For Cards With Modeling Paste

    March 3, 2024 / No Comments

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a couple of cards using white modeling paste as a fun background element. White modeling paste can be used as-is, with stencils, or mixed with a variety of other mediums for endless possibilities in your paper crafting projects. Modeling Paste & Stencils There are lots of ways to alter modeling paste to suit your project, but with a thick and creamy consistency, it also looks great applied through stencils right from the jar. Here I created a pretty textured background for this soft spring flowers card. Apply white modeling paste through the…
