Nuvo - Embellishment Mousse - Seaspray Green - 817n

I didn’t see any tutorials on the embellishment mousse and thought it was a dimensional modeling paste. Although, I think you could use it that way. I was pleasantly surprised to find out how I could “buff” it into the paper and it come out so smooth. I tried blending multiple colors and it blends beautifully as well. It seems more like a wax me. I only have a couple of colors right now, but I will be purchasing more in the near future. I really, really love this product.

Although you asked about the Mousse, I did order your hybrid inks as well. I am assuming the inks are discontinued. If they are, that is a disappointment. After using the inks, I like them as well since I use Copic markers as well as watercolor. They blend nicely and don’t smear. I was looking for a good ink for alcohol markers, that I could use in place of Memento inks, since I can’t find all their colors anymore.

This sea spray green has a silver look to it, keep in mind that I am applying on a black background. Exactly what I was looking for. Love these Nuvo Embellishment Mousses, the consistency is so creamy and a little go a long way.

Pretty color. I've already rated this product earlier.

The color is beautiful! I intend to use this a lot on future projects.

I love various other Nuvo products (many sorts of drops). So I thought when this company had a big sale that I'd order a couple or even a handful and see if I liked this mousse. These little pots (or jars... plastic) are sealed w/ foil once the lid is unscrewed. This product seems to me to be a bit on the expensive side, but when this product was 50% off, I indulged. I got about 16 of them, actually. I tried a light green one first, and the spatula I ordered hadn't yet arrived, so I used my fingers to spread the mousse over a stencil of leaves. I was planning to make a card for a baby shower w/ a baby elephant and a baby giraffe from some Lawn Fawn stamps. Once the spatula arrived, I tried it and the only difference was a more consistent level in the application of the mousse/paste. By the way, "mousse" is an accurate term, but picture chocolate mousse (mousse au chocolat) that has been served and sat, waiting to be eaten.... and started to fall / congeal a bit. This mousse is not fluffy but more like condensed. It's not wet enough to be "gloppy" but "mousse" might give you the impression that it's full and fluffy when it's neither. Unfortunately, I cannot give feedback on how long it took to dry. If you put on a layer like I did (thin), I would think it would dry in 60-90 min. More than that, you'd be better off leaving it for a few hours. I left this overnight, so I can't say how long it took for sure.

I plan to use the various shades of this that I bought frequently in the next few months so that I get my money's worth. I have a tendency to stock up on some product and then forget about it when the next novelty item comes along and then get irritated at myself for wastefulness. I like the results that the light green (spring green?) mousse gave me for this project and I can see all sorts of uses for it... in stencils that can be the main attraction OR as stencils that can be a background under a message such as "hi" or "thinking of you" or even a sympathy card. I am sure I could use the mousse with a birthday cake stencil I got from Simon Hurley's line and it would be beautiful.

This color is just beautiful. I plan to use it w/ a wave stencil I have. I could also use it with Simon Hurley's stencil called "Looks Like Rain." It could be a good backdrop for cards w/ many sentiments and it would be outstanding for anything sea/sail/ocean/mermaid.
