At the beginning of the month I used a spray I had made up myself using Brushos in the usual way of simply spraying through a stencil - if you've not already seen my card, it's here.
I watched a couple of videos and rather liked the idea of mixing an Ink Mist Spray with embossing paste to create texture and colour so thought I'd have a play with paste and get messy!
The spray I used was a Cosmic Shimmer Ink Spray Mist called 'Paradise Pink' and the stencil is 'Beautiful Baroque Swirls' by Hunkydory.
Using a palette knife I scooped some white embossing paste onto a craft sheet, added a few drops of the ink and mixed them together thoroughly.
I layered this through the top of the stencil then added a few more drops to darken the colour, repeating twice more and applying through the stencil, ending up with an ombre effect.
Before the paste dried I sprinkled a teeny bit of Glamour Dust down the centre - doesn't show up very well on the pic but it looked very pretty in real life!
The die cut sentiment was triple embossed.
My thanks go to Svitlana for inspiring me to have a go at this technique and I hope I have inspired you to do the same and join us if you haven't already! x

Wonderful card, Viv. Great idea to mix the ink and embossing paste, the result is beautiful. xx
What great colors you created by adding sprays to your embossing pastes Viv! This technique adds wonderful texture to your design - so pretty with the gold text! xx
Beautiful Viv.. great embossing and colour is gorgeous.
This does look flocked. It's very pretty. I love Glamour Dust. Especially when I can actually contain it in my craft room. Normally it travels where I do. [Bunny]`
gorgeous Viv, love the ombre effect you created with the ink :)
A beautiful card Viv, mixing your sprays with paste is a neat idea and that is one really lovely stencil and nicely finished with just a sentiment ... thanks for having fun with sprays this month, hugs Robyn
Great work with using the sprays to colour your embossing paste, Viv! The swirly stencil is gorgeous on it's own, but even more impressive with the ombre technique. Love the triple embossed gold sentiment! xx
