Okay, this has got to be one my ALL-TIME FAVORITE techniques!😍
I mean, when you can grab a couple of sheets of cardstock, mix up a gooey concoction, and make magic? I am SO in.
Yep, it's messy. Yep, it takes time. But, oh MAN...is it just me? The resulting surfaces leave me weak in the knees.
Now, don't get scared off by the enormous supply list - that's just me using all my favorite things to complete not only the technique, but the project showcase, too.
(I am ANYTHING BUT a minimalist...)
All you REALLY need is this:
Joint Compound + White Glue + a squeeze bottle. Yep.
Oh, and a classic motif printed on cardstock {to use as a guide}, of course!
So, let's get to it, shall we?
