Dreamweaver and Stampendous: Another Dream-Pendous Event...Day Five

Welcome to another "Dream-Pendous" week of inspiration! The *Stampendous*team and the *Dreamweaver* team  (plus a couple) are collaborating once again with all the fun toys in both team's arsenal. Of course, as usual, there will be great prizes available for those who comment throughout this week. In face there will be three prize packages available to win.



 Each will have a great selection of *Dreamweaver Stencils* and *Stampendous* images and dies...one of which being the new *"Blossom Beauty"* face image as shown on the badge above. Here is my creation for today:

I wanted to do something totally different from my last post.  So here is the girl in blue flowers.

I Started with the Blossom Beauty from Stampendous.  Stamping her in dark blue pigment.  Then using the mask I stamped the flowers.  Again this was all done in colored pencils.

Once I had her colored I put the finishing touches on with Dreamweaver stencils:

LJ804 Large Dots with a white pen and

LJ815 Zebra Texture

first I traced some of the lines on her forehead with a lead pencil then colored it in with a blue colored pencil.

Perfect!!  I really liked the result. 

Make sure to visit the rest of the group and join in and win prizes.   Thanks for visiting!

Started with the Blossom Beauty from Stampendous.  I immediately pictured a Gibson Girl.  Once she was colored with pencils I stenciled the background with Dreamweaver Stencil LX7022 Vintage Decor in Soft Blue pigment ink behind her.

LOVE THIS!!!

We're already into April, and no foolin', the Dream Team has a spectacular month planned for you...filled with exciting news and inspiration for all of your crafting dreams! The exciting news will be announced in the Dream It Up! post on April 17th, but the "April Inspirations" challenge will run for the entire month. Each team member will post what inspires them in their creative life...maybe a Pinterest pic, a magazine pic, a quote, a book, a place, an artist, a crafter friend...along with their creation. We are hoping that you will feel inspired as well, and link your projects (and inspiration) to the inlinkz tool on the Dream It Up! blog. Check out what our Guest Designer and the "A" team has been inspired by for this week...

Here is my madness for this week:

 

Since I live in the Wyoming wilderness, I decided to do something that would be from the area.

 

So I started with :

 

 

LG714 Elk

 

LG715 Moose

 

andLL584 Bison

 

 

Next cut 4 4x4 squares of white paper. Sponge color over the whole area.

Place stencil over square and stencil color onto it.

Place paper face down on a piece of laminate paper.  Cut leaving a 12 inch border.  Cut corners in a V.  Apply double stick tape to back of image. 

Cut 4 4x4 squares of cork.  Set image, adhesive side down onto cork.  Fold laminate edges over and TAH DAH!!!  You have a set of coasters.

 

Make sure to check out the rest of the team for more "MAD" ideas:

Lose some weight!! Also known as CAS (Clean and Simple) week 5

This week I'm featuring another new stencil that was introduced at CHA this month.

 

First I dry embossed LL3037 the Butterfly.  Then added color by using the Embossed Strie' technique.

 

Then I dry embossed the new LX7025 background and brushed color on it. 

 

Finally I put the butterfly stencil back over the embossed image and placed the background stencil over the top of it.  Stencil color over both stencils to create the pattern.

 

 

Make sure to visit the rest of the group for less "weighty" ideas!!

Lose Some Weight! Also Known As CAS (Clean and Simple)

This weeks CAS is also featuring one of the new stencil images from CHA.

I started with the new giant flower LX7024.  Use Pearlescent stencil paste and Pearlescent paper.  LM2010.  Paste the image using the LM2010 Paste Spreader.

FYI - This is the most fantastic invention for giant stencils.  It really makes spreading paste SO much
easier.

Then heat from underneath the paper.  This makes the paste bubble in a more uniform way.  Rather than having paste that looks like popcorn, you will get a much more smooth effect.   Both are gorgeous, but for this project I like the result from heating underneath.

CHA Release!!

Welcome to Dreamweaver's CHA Release Week! This week and next the Dream Teams will be posting sneak peeks of our newest designs...STENCILS AND DIES! The teams have had so much fun stretching their creativity to show you the most inspiring ways to use these new products. If you just can't stand to wait until your local stores get these in, you can order online from Stencil with Style!

 

Today I used the new elephant stencil, and the Embossed Strie technique.  Darken the eye with a black marker and highlight the tusk with a white pen and done.
Quick, simple and with all the cuteness needed for a 2 year olds birthday card!

Check out the rest of the teams sites.  One or more have a sneek peek at what is to come during CHA this week!!

Happy Birthday Lynell!!

Did you know that we're celebrating the Queen's birthday this week? Well...the Queen of Stencils, Lynell Harlow, that is. Actually, her birthday is on Saturday, but we're surprising her by posting birthday cards in her honor today. Nothing like making you feel OLD sooner than necessary, right Lynell? You'll even see a few familiar names in our lineup, as some of the teaching team are whooping it up for her as well.

  

In addition to our birthday party, we are also beginning a new year and a new monthly challenge. In honor of all those resolutions we hope to achieve, our challenge is "Losing the Weight...AKA Clean and Simple (CAS)". If we all try really hard to simplify our design-work without losing our creativity, we can all say at the end of the month that we've lost some weight! Maybe not off of our waistlines, but at least off of our cards! Gotta start somewhere!

To celebrate Lynell's happy day and keeping with the CAS theme this month, this is what I came up with: 
Start with the Jumbo Happy Birthday Stencil, LJ920.

 

 

Paste with Matte White paste on black paper.  Remove stencil, cover with Ranger Distress Powders.   Tap off excess.  Heat.  The paste will bubble first, then as it heats the powder will melt and become dull and shiny at the same time.

Matt onto burlap that has been frayed at the edges.  And quick and easy, clean and simply finished!

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY LYNELL!!!!
