The Shimmer Relief Paste works wonderfully on raw, unprocessed surfaces like cardstock, wood, and mixed media canvas. It’s also great for layering on stencils for dazzling 3D effects.
While you can mix the same paste, we don't recommend mixing different media into it.
Yes! You need a palette knife to apply the paste. You may also use a wallpaper squeegee or an old credit card or ID card.
