New Colors of Lunar Paste and a 3D Embossing Folder!

Simon Hurley added a few new colors of Lunar Paste recently! I ordered Weeping Willow (dark brown), Shady (dark grey) Cookie Dough (beige). The only new color I didn't order was Grrr (med brown). I did order both Refined Copper and Silver Lining for some pretty metallics.

I wanted my paper to stay in place without having to put my finger into the pastes, so I used the Scrapbookcom sticky mat. To keep my mat clean, I placed a Brutus Monroe Blending Buddy down. It's a piece of plastic with the center cut out. Normally you put the paper on the sticky mat and place the Blending Buddy over it, it will cover the edges of the paper so you can ink blend just the center.

Instead, I put the Blending Buddy on top of the sticky mat, covering most of the mat, leaving the center open to keep the paper in place. If any of the paste comes off the paper, it'll hit the Blending Buddy and not get all over my mat.

Using a palette knife, I placed the pastes on a piece of 4" x 5.25" cardstock (110 lb). I then used a craft scraper to pull it across the paper. You want it to be covered but not thick.

I washed all my utensils and let the panel completely dry for several hours. I didn't want solar paste pressed into my 3D embossing folder.

After it was dry, I embossed it with the Simon Says Stamp "Wheat Stems" 3D embossing folder. I applied some Slippery When Wet Lunar Paste on the tops of the wheat. I also put some of this Lunar Paste on a scrap of black cardstock and diecut the word "thankful", stacking it 2x for dimension before gluing it in place. 

I adhered the panel to an A2 black card.
