Nuvo Expanding Mousse is applied to your projects in much the same way as the Embellishment Mousse but the big difference is that it expands to give amazing texture when you use a heat gun on it.
It dries with a sheen if left alone but becomes matt and puffy after heating and can be used with stencils or applied with a spatula and used as the focal point of a card.
I really enjoyed making these two cards and I hope you'll give it a try if you haven't already used it

This will reveal the sheen on the wet mousse.
