Blog Hop Cont'd

Okay it's a ridiculous hour of the morning but I had to get up to continue our creative adventure. So please excuse any typos!! Hopefully you have been leaving comments as you go through all the blogs, it increases your chances to win fabulous Dreamweaver products.



My first card is made using the LG 711 Rhinestone tree and White Glossy Embossing Paste. Once the paste was dry I added Stickles Christmas Red Glitter Glue. I added more dots across the bottom right side of the card with the glitter glue. I then outlined the tree trunk and some of the branches with Stickles Crystal Glitter Glue. (Click on the image to get a closer look at the Crystal glue)



Next I had some fun with LG 660 Boot



For this card I pasted the boot with Black Matte Embossing Paste and let it dry.
Then I placed the Boot stencil back over the image. On top of that I placed the LJ 896 Large Flourish over the boot and applied ink from a Palette Stamp & Stick Gluepad with a large dauber. Next I sprinkled FX10 Kiwi and FX12 Glacier over the swirl. I removed the flourish and taped around the top, heel and toe portion of the boot. Again daub gluepad ink over the areas and using a stencil brush, stencil FX15 Kimono Red over them. It's mounted on metallic red paper and then on a glossy faux alligator paper. It really makes the image POP!

My Aunt is turning 80 this week. She raises horse in California so I wanted to make her a special card that reminded me of her. This is the result:



For this one I dry embossed the front boot. Then covered it with LL 3003 Hot Air Balloon. Using my Picasso to mask off the lower lines of the balloon, I stenciled the color onto the boot. Once that was done, color was applied to the rest of the image using Spendor Pigment Ink Pad #14 Magic. For the second boot image, the stencil was then repositioned at an angle and color added the same way as above. This time it was colored flat with no dry embossing.

I enjoy the large open stencils, they are so fun to fill in with other images! So this leads us to my last card.



For this one I started with LJ 903 Large Open Fan. First dry emboss, then stencil color leaving the center almost blank. Next LL585 Romantic Rose was positioned over the fan (the fan stencil is still over image) and color was stenciled onto the fan through the rose stencil. Finally, with the fan stencil still in place I positioned a plain piece of cardstock over the fan lining up a point at the upper edge with a "spoke" at the base. A light dusting of color was applied to represent the folds of the fan. This was repeated ten more times to create the illusion of the folds.

  3. Your cards are all inspiring! I really love the Rhinestone tree stencil and what you did with it. I think I have found a new stencil for a favorite! The second card is brilliant the way you tied the black glossy boot with the fake leather mat layer. Thank you for the great ideas. My favorite stencil today (thanks to you) is the rhinestone tree (LJ711) white glossy paste and red metallic FX.

  8. Hi Terrece!

    All the cards are great, as usual. Sure doesn't look like any creative block here! Love the dimension of the faux folds...great effect! If selected I'd like the LG840 Peacock bkg. I love the details of that stencil. I would also pick the white glossy paste and Purple Satin F/X. The stencil and F/X would be used to make backgrounds for many type of occasion cards. If I'm lucky enough to be selected on one of the other DT's blogs I'll win the peacock stencil....if not, it will be on my "Hafta Get" list for sure! Thx. for the chance to win some goodies!

  9. Sometimes simple or "plain works best. I love your cards. They really let the stencil speak for itself. Your Aunt is lucky to be receiving such a wonderful card.! I would like to play with the large sleigh stencil to make some Christmas cards. I would also like some glossy red paste and the navajo sky mica.

  14. Love these cards and the techniques. I'm sure your grandmother is going to love the boots card. My choices, if I win, are:LL397 Crystal Snowflake, Glossy White Paste & FX09 Pixie Blush. I would use this stencil for winter and/or Season's Greetings Cards, gift cards/bags and ornaments. I would definitely use the paste and glitter to have the snow flakes stand out. Linda E.

  15. Wow, Terrece!!!! I have never thought of using other stencils to embellish one!!! Thanks for the awesome ideas!!!!! The boots are outstanding! Just fabulous! Thanks for your innovative ideas!!

  16. Thanks for posting these cards. I was wondering how to use the fan. Love the way you combined the stencils. My faves are Wrought iron LG84, cocoa/fx and black paste.

  17. Wow, your cards look great! I have always liked the rhinestone tree stencil and seeing it used here reminded me that I do not have it. So my choice would be for the LG 711 Rhinestone tree with the metallic copper paste and the kimono red fx. I have lots of ideas for this stencil, and I am thinking it would make both a great fall or winter card.
