Check out our creation for today:
Elaine Benedict is showing off her talents again. This time featuring the Star Dream Christmas Tree, and using the Molten Magic technique. This is our latest inspiration, and so much fun to do! Especially if you are the type of crafter who hates to wait for paste to dry. Here's the steps:
1. Paste emboss the tree with a glossy paste (Elaine used the Pearlescent Paste). Need the basic paste info? Click HERE.
2. Sprinkle surface with various colors of Metallic F/X powders.
3. Apply a heat tool over and above surface until puffy and bubbly (keep moving the tool).
4. When cool to the touch, you can press with fingertips for a more textured look.
5. Once it is totally dry (it may take a bit longer to dry than just heating with the tool if you have pasted it thickly) take a Swiffer dusting cloth and remove the excess powders in the background.
Note: On more open designs, you can ink a stamp with Versamark and stamp the design into the surface!

You know molten magic is a must for me, as I have no time to wait for my paste to dry, this looks so delicate. Thank you Elaine.
oh wow, that is just so beautiful! I will have to find some time this weekend to play with this technique.
Simply adore the neon look of this holiday tree! Beautiful technique!
This is just gorgeous! Can't wait to give this technique a try and since I work in stamp store, I want to demo it too! How long does it take the paste to dry using the heat gun? Also, after you've made it all bubbly do you still have to wait for it to dry a certain amount of time? Thanks in advance!
Hello Lea, Sometimes if I have pasted the piece quite thick it takes awhile before it is totally dry, you can tap the bubbles down etc, but don't get too vigorous with swiffering off the powders that are still left on the cardstock in the background or you may smear the paste. Give it a good 1/2 hour of further drying time.
That is such a cool idea! I love being able to pull out my sacred stash to use on a beautiful project.
I must try this technique.
Loving the Molten Magic Technique here!
Absolutely beautiful!! I *must* try this technique soon... thanks for the details on the how-to!
WOW! Love the molten finish. I'm going to have to try the Pearl Paste. I've only been using mat!
