Silver or Gold?✨ Two Stunning Cards from One Textured Background! [2026/101]
In this video, I take you through the process of creating two very different looks from one textured background using texture paste, metallic watercolors, and a fun experiment with a gel plate! Whether you prefer the "regal" look of purple and gold or the cool, shimmering vibe of purple and silver, there's a technique here for everyone. I’ll show you how I used a crackly stencil and Liquitex modeling paste to build texture, then brought it to life with Distress Oxides and a custom pearl shimmer spray. Plus, join me for a little "experiment" as I try using a gel plate to apply embossing ink—it's all about playing with your supplies to see what works! In this video, you’ll learn: How to build dimension with texture paste and stencils. Tips for blending Distress Oxides over textured surfaces. Two different ways to apply embossing ink for unique metallic effects. How to use vellum to make die-cuts pop against busy backgrounds. Composition tips using the rule of thirds for sentiments and embellishments. I'd love to know which one is your favorite: Silver or Gold? Let me know in the comments below!
