PTI Stamp-a-Faire 2014: Ancient Rome

Now this is a technique that I have been meaning to do for a while.  It uses texture paste and a stencil to make a raised effect.  Fabulous.  Looks heaps better in real life!  Think I might incorporate this one into my techniques classes somehow......

detail of texture paste
Texture paste comes in white or translucent.  And it sort of looks and feels a bit like toothpaste.  Weird stuff.  But you can tint it any colour with reinkers, you can stamp on it (another card I have in the works) and no doubt do a miriad of things with it.  Thinking cap is on.

Materials used:
Cardstock: PTI White, patterned paper supplied in PTI SAF kit, SU's Sahara Sand
Stamp: Ancient Rome stamp in SAF kit
Ink: PTI Ripe Avocado and Simply Chartreuse & Smoky Slate
Other: Mat Stack 3 Layerz (PTI), Burlap trim (SU), Wendy Vecchi Texture Paste, Lucky Limeade reinker (SU)
