Posh Chalk Metallic Paste – Rose Gold 110ml

So, metallic pastes and textured pastes; they’re both part of the Posh Chalk Paste family but they differ in one important way. The metallic pastes, as the name suggests, are metallic and smooth. The textured pastes, however, are chock full of real Swarovski crystals (the are Posh Chalk Pastes after all). This gives the pastes texture, but also they shimmer and glimmer as the crystals catch the light.

The Posh Chalk Pastes come in two varieties, the Smooth Metallic Pastes – of which there are 18 different colours – and the Textured Pastes which are available in three colours. Both are water based and the main, well only, difference between the two varieties is that the Textured Pastes have real Swarovski Crystals in them! The crystals give an extra dimension of texture whereas the smooth pastes can be levelled to created a luxurious smooth metallic finish – as the name would suggest.

The pastes are thick and were designed with raised stencilling in mind, so by their nature a less is more attitude is often required. If you’re using them for raised stencilling, the best option is to using something like a palette knife or a spreader to ensure an even distribution.

To add that extra pizazz to your Posh Chalk Paste stencil designs, introduce a little heat. If you warm these with a heat gun whilst they’re still wet they will pop. That is to say they will puff up to a thick eggshell like consistency adding that extra bit of texture and definition to your projects. When popping them, you may begin to notice the scent – all the Posh Chalk Pastes contain essential oils and each one is perfumed slightly differently.

If stencilling isn’t your thing, then don’t worry, you don’t have to throw out your pastes just yet. These pastes are equally at home being used as a paint or even a wash, simply water them down a little and get to work.

Don’t worry about sealing the pastes, they are an all-in-one product – they can even be used outside. Just leave them a while to cure first.
