Here are a couple of designs (Alhambra and Kashmir Border) from the forthcoming MM Global Stencil Collection, aka Royal Stencil Exclusives, that were worked into one of the step-by-step finishes. The finishes are a series of “Recipe Cards” called Master Finish Formulas. This one, a decorative dado concept, uses a new product that will be available soon called Texture Effects-a stone-like plaster/texture. It has a nice high build that makes it great for stencil embossing and it’s self-sealing properties mean that you can glaze or paint over it with great results. Here, it was rubbed back while still to create highlights on the raised areas of the texture.

Believe it or not, this was glazed with Venetian Blue metallic paint. The texture absorbs the mica in the paint, eliminating the metallic glow and leaving just this perfect Moroccan blue color. If you or your client couldn’t handle that much blue, it would also be really pretty to flip to the Tequila Gold color for the top portion of the wall.
