I am enjoying these vlogs! I've been wanting to explore mixed media and I like to learn in bits and pieces so watching these and seeing what's out there is very helpful. You're a very good teacher, May. Thanks for taking the time to tape these; very informative!

Great video. Imma try this DIY 🍷😍 and a lil love, when you lifted the stencil i wanted to see a closeup. Hopefully next time. Thanks 🍷😍

Great ideas! I love to play with Distress inks and glass bead gel medium. I've found out that the more ink you use, the more intense the color is. By using the glass bead gel medium, the look is gorgeous. It reminds me of rock candy.

[@deborahanne9793]

Are you using watercorlor paper? I find that when I use paste my cardstock buckles. Thank you.

[@teriann1952]

What type cardstock do you use with texture paste so paper doesnt warp when it dries?

Have you tried using Vicki Boutin's Foundations Paper? www.scrapbook.com/store/ac-343917.html

[@janetteaguirre-terry2986]

Thanks for sharing. Can you tell us what colors your using while you are working you explain what your doing but don’t mention what colors of distress inks you use and what brand are those watercolors you have off to my left and your right? Thanks again

[@gitikaasiwal6746]

can we use texture paste in place of gesso??? I mean as primer.

[@scrapbook]

We wouldn't recommend it. Gesso creates a thin, smooth layer perfect for priming your page. The texture paste would be a lot thicker and less flexible. It also depends on the effects you are trying to achieve.

+Scrapbook.com Thank you so much for your reply. God bless you.

You are very welcome! :)

i find the smaller detailed stencils HARDER to use, because sometimes the applicator i tend to use doesn't want to push the media through the holes cuz they are soo small.

[@natalier4101]

What do you wash your stencils with?

[@letha57]

Really couldn't see the results very well
