After laying down
bands of color with Inktense pencils, I stenciled over them with transparent
texture paste. When the paste dried, I trimmed
the piece into a strip and then decided the colors needed a little more
pop. So I went to work with Distress
Stains dabbed over the colors . . .
. . . much better! The underlying colored pencils made the Stains
more intense and the colors now look jewel-like – I'm very happy with how they
work with the black and white.
This
is my first use of Transparent Matte Texture Paste and I like its frosted
look. But I'm still on the lookout for a
truly clear, non-shiny matte finish stenciling paste. It's doubtful as to whether or not such a
product has even been invented yet, but hope springs eternal and I shall
continue to lie in wait, ready to pounce . . .

Hi Sue, I just finished reading your RSM article. I love your sense of humor and writing style. I have been addicted to stamping since 1990 when I wandered into a store, but I blame RSM for feeding that addiction. I happened to have bought the SU alcohol markers which have since been dropped. They dry out and don't blend easily. Right now I am playing with water colors and pan pastels and I love brayered, inky applications. I have a gallery on Splitcoast. User name is cmagro. I want to get back to looking through your blog. So far, I am really enjoying myself. Thanks for your contributions to blogland.
