How to use your Cernit texture plates ?

Several techniques are common to exploit the pattern of texture plates:

• Impress of textures : for this technique, place the texture plate on the clay once it has been rolled or passed through the pasta machine. When positioned, press firmly on the stainless steel roller or with the palm of your hand as evenly as possible. Peel off the plate and see the pattern appear!

• Sutton slice : Using small pieces of Cernit, fill the drawings with the plate. Then use the soft blade to remove the excess clay, in the same way that the excess is removed from a silicone mould. Do not use a rigid blade to avoid damaging your plate.

  Once you have carefully removed the excess, place a sheet of Cernit against the plate. For a more beautiful effect, use a color that contrasts with the Cernit used to fill the patterns. Turn everything over, press firmly and evenly on the play so that both pastes adhere. Gently remove the plate making sure everything has well adhered.
  The result you get is unique: the entire design of the plate is embossed!

• Mica shift : prepare your Glamour or Shiny clay by kneading it in your hand. It is essential to put your clay in the pasta machine twenty times, always in the same direction. Thus, all the glitter will be oriented in the same direction.
  Place the texture plate on the clay and press firmly with your hand or with the stainless steel roller to embed each detail of the design into the clay.
  Remove the texture plate.
  Use a flexible Cernit blade to gradually remove the relief of the drawing and end up with a smooth paste. You will notice as you remove the relief, that the pattern is printed on the clay thanks to the work of the machine on the glitter.
  To make the pattern stand out, pass the roller on the clay

For even easier release, you can put a little talc on your plate.
