Monochrome Christmas Trees

Hi Crafty Friends,
I played around with coloring texture paste with Distress Oxide ink to make these two tree backgrounds for my tag cards. The stencil is from Uniko studios and it is perfect for Christmas!

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Have you tried Texture Paste? Do you like it?

A: Me? Yes... but it's hard when you color it because you can't put it back in the jar so I had to make A LOT of tree backgrounds!



Supplies:
Uniko Studios In the Forest Stencil
CAS-Fridays Sugar Plum Fairy Stamp Set
Sequins
Distress Oxide Ink Lucky Clover

    I have texture past but haven't tried
    it yet. Your trees gave me inspiration
    to get it out and use it on some of
    my Christmas tags. Not sure how it
    does when used on a mailed card.
    Great trees. thanks for sharing

    I have tried it once or twice. I DO like the effect a lot. I just feel like i have to really hurry to clean the stencil before it dries and ruins the stencil!

    The first card is very attractive. The second card has that edgy artsy feel. I have not tried texture paste yet.

    Love the stenciled background designs and both of your tree designs! Pretty snowflake tree and the die cut one is very cool!
    I have tried a product similar to texture paste before. And I just bought two jars of texture jars at the Scrapbook Expo I attended last month.

    Both tree cards are great. Really like the first one. I like adding a tag to cards. No I have never tried paste. Would be fun to try.

    Love your designs! I don't use the texture paste very often but when I have I like the additional dimension it gives. Thanks for sharing with us at Word Art Wednesday!

    Love the artsy tree, Meghan! Yes, I like using texture paste. Lately I have been using gloss gel medium with acetate. Such fun to try different techniques and media. Thank you for playing along at Double Trouble #44.
