I'm glad I'm not the only one covered in paint or ink! TFS

The paste makes for super results!!

I really like the first textured galaxy! The 2 colors definitely worked together! Tip that I've found for the Dina Wakely gloss white spray-wait for the base paint/ink to dry before splattering the white and don't water it down. It sits on top of the base ink so nice and allows for some really crisp splatter stars. I just spray using the sprayer that came with it. But if it clogs I use a fan brush to create the splatters. Thank goodness for daughters! I could ask my husband if I had something on my face and he'd let me walk out of the house with paint on my face just as a joke. We've been married for almost 30 years and makes me laugh every day. Thanks for sharing the video!

Way cool, love the different colors and variations you came up with. Love galaxy backgrounds. Tysm

Wow great galaxy backgrounds. I'll have to try out these techniques. So fun!

Love these techniques; amazing! So many thanks for the laugh out loud moments. I so needed the laughs today. ❤

Never thought to use texture paste for Galaxy backgrounds but definitely will after seeing what you created. Fabulous ideas. Thank you so much 😊

This was great thank you 💜💐

so fun!!

Thank you for the very cool techniques.

So true! I never know when to stop with watercolor.

Thanks for the amazing ideas

great ideas, thanks 😀

Thanks for the reply. What I did do, prior to your reply, was lightly spray the backside, insert between 2 sheets of ppr, then stacked some big books on top and.... now have flat paper. I did use water color paper and was wondering if that was the reason. I LOVE the thick look, and the crackles in the paper too. Haven't sprayed yet, only have a very few colors (not like some with a wall rack of every designer, shade, type, etc..... :-) Thanks for your answer. I have 2 made and will try some color this week. woo hoo - the final frontier. bwahahaha...

Love these ideas!! Thank you!

Hello from NZ

Fantastic video, ideas and techniques. I love how they turned out & you gave me an idea for a card I want to make, but was struggling with the water/ocean part of it...I'm gonna have a go with the texture paste & hopefully get the result I'm going for 😁 Have a wonderful day from Australia ❤

Yay! I hope it turns out beautifully!

the 1st one looks like the moon surface.

I used T.H. Ranger crackle paste (for the first time) on 120lb paper (from Hobby Lobby) . Applied a heavy swath of paste, set aside to dry overnight - love the crackle look BUT the paper curled up into a big U shape. Any ideas on how to un-U the paper, and suggestions to limit this behavior in the future??? Thanks

@LaurelBeard

I think its because you applied a heavy application and then its designed to crackle so it made the paper move. You can try flipping it over, add a towel or something over the card and iron it on a low setting to straighten it out. To prevent this, apply a VERY THIN application. A little goes a long way with pastes! I hope this helps!

How do you keep the embossing paste from drying out? My paste dries out and only seems to last 6 moths.

Fortunately, the brands I have don't seem to dry out as long as I make sure the lid is tight. You could try putting a little plastic wrap over the top before putting the lid on to see if that helps!

They're stunning, but how do you then turn them into cards? :(
