Finger Stenciling With New Lunar Paste

I'm so happy to share this card today, featuring products sent to me by Scrapbook.com, including the new Lunar Paste from Simon Hurley and Ranger Ink! I wanted to get basic with my stenciling and using your fingers is as basic as it gets. I'm also using the new Scrapbook.com Mixed Media paper and I'll tell you further down why you need this in your life too!

Please note, direct links to the new Lunar Paste were not available for me to link in my supply list when I wrote up this post. However, I've scattered affiliate links throughout this text that will direct you to all the Lunar Paste on the Scrapbook.com site, sorted by the newest first.

Let me start by saying this: Using a palette knife or scraper tool to stencil with the new Lunar Paste will definitely give you a deeper color.

Let me also say, that is not what I'm going for today. The Simon Hurley Love Struck Lunar Paste is a gorgeous red color. Likewise, the Lunar Paste in Breakup Blue is equally beautiful. Both offer an opaque metallic shine and also coordinate with the Simon Hurley inks of the same name. I know you're going to see a lot of lovely inspiration in the coming days and I'm sharing yet another way to get the most from your supplies.

I decided to try for a more translucent color for my clouds, finger stenciling with the Scrapbook.com Little Clouds Stencil.

All you need is a craft mat, your pretty little fingers and some Lunar Paste. And, paper towels to wipe your fingers and craft mat! I simply dabbed a little of the paste onto my craft mat and grabbed some color with my finger and began tapping in color. It was super quick and easy. I even grabbed a bit of color from both pastes and dabbed for a mixed color effect. 

Let me tell you about the new Mixed Media paper from Scrapbook.com. It comes in black and white and heavyweight at 140 lbs. You won't have to worry about any bleed through on the flip side. That's great news if you love making tags but don't want the hassle of backing them to cover up your bleed through.

I also love the color of the clouds using the Lunar Paste on the mixed media paper! It'ss very smooth and the color swipes easily which is a bonus. I also colored my die cut heart balloons with Lunar Paste too. These were die cut with the mixed media paper, using my Platinum 6. Also, two of the balloons have an etched design which I think is absolutely darling. Oh and did you notice one other thing? I die cut 3 more balloons with my dark blue paper, as a backing for my colored balloons and a shadow effect.

Lastly, I finished my card by backing my mixed media card panel (trimmed down to just under A2 sized) with the dark blue paper from the Scrapbook.com Jewels Paper Pad. This was also paired with white Neenah cardstock to create the die cut sentiment from the Hugs Love You die set.

I flipped through several paper pads trying to decide which color paper would coordinate best with my two Lunar Paste colors. The navy was a solid win.
