I am on the Tando Creative blog today as part of 'Texture' week. One of the many things I love about mixed media is the building and layering of different textures so I decided to decorate one of the technique tags using texture paste along with some grey board pieces and other materials...
First I added some texture paste through the distressed diamonds stencil from Tando Creative, but to add even more texture I tapped the paste with my palette knife to create extra peaks. Once this was dry I painted the tag and the other grey board pieces with white gesso...

Happy crafting,
