Infusions and Texture Paste

PaperArtsy Infusions with texture paste
I have been playing with Infusion's for today's project and used them in 4 different ways on this card - through the stencil, to create the matt layer, to stamp and to dye the seam binding.

I started with my white card and a stencil from my stash. I added clear texture paste through the stencil and then sprinkled a couple of colours of infusions over  - Sunset Beach and Black Knight. I carefully removed the stencil and let it dry.

I then coloured some more card with a few sprinkles and spritzes of water.
These formed the base for my greeting.

I was curious if you could stamp with the infusions using a baby wipe. (Fold the baby wipe and sprinkle on the infusions and allow it to soak a little.) Then take the stamp and use the coloured baby wipe as the 'ink pad'. It works - although it is quite a subtle colour. I did this so my sentiment matched in colour to the rest of the card.
Now for my seam binding ribbon -  a few sprinkles and some water on the ribbon - let it dry and then shake to remove any leftover 'bits'.
Love the result of the infusions over the texture paste and the seam binding!
I rarely stop at one card - so here is another!
