I made these card fronts at an outing with Nora S. and two other ladies who had never used embossing paste. I was their teacher! It was so much fun. Everyone went home with five card fronts (except Nora who went home with seven!) and having learned four techniques: stenciling, using translucent embossing paste, using crackle paste, and using metal leaf.
