Catch up Sunday!!

This time I decided to use the new LJ 918 Open cross
I first covered it with Pearlescent Paste on gray paper. Let dry.
Replace the stencil and spray it with Red Metallic Memories Mist.
I then cut it out and mounted it with 3-d foam mounting tape on a pearl metallic paper. I thought it was fitting for my Sunday post.

Now that I'm up and running I have a lot of comments to catch up on on my fellow Dreamteamers blogs. I hope you have been visiting them daily to see what they have created with the new Stencils being introduced this week at the Spring Craft and Hobby Show in Los Angeles, CA. Keep checking back for more ideas!

This time I decided to use the same method with the Alcohol Solutions inks that I did on Tuesday. I tried it with the new LL3022 Festive Thank You stencil.



One thing I found was that it doesn't work well with words. One or the other will turn out backwards. Luckily, the words didn't show up very well on the background piece. First paste the image with White Glossy paste, let dry. Replace the stencil and color with Alcohol Solutions. Because I wanted the image to stand out more, I outlined portions of the image to create a shadow effect.

For the background portion, sprinkle Alcohol Solutions cleaner on ink left on stencil then lay a piece of white glossy paper over it and rub.

Then paste the Thank You over it with White Matte paste, sprinkle with glitter. Again I outlined just a portion to create a shadow effect.

I LOVE these new images!!!

This time I used the new LX 7011 Big Dots background.

First I taped it over a piece of white glossy paper. Then added Alcohol solutions in three colors with a random pattern.


Then I cut a small piece of white glossy paper and created a background with the same three colors. Pasted the Thank You with white paste.

Assemble as shown! This one made up pretty fast too.

This time I used the new background stencil LX 7010 Flower quatrefoil:

I pasted it with White Matte Paste, let dry. Replace stencil and add color with pigment ink and stencil brushes.
Cut out 3 flowers and 4 sides to use as the corners on the front of the card.



I used silk leaves under the flower. I love the way the finished flower looks like velvet.

I'm Back!!!

Well my computer has been down for most of the week so I have to get caught up!!

Here is my Wednesday Post:

Using the alcohol inks directly on the stencil, I covered it in Gourd Green (LOVE IT!), has to be one of my absolute favorites. Sprinkle the Color Solution cleaner over it. Lay a piece of White Glossy paper onto the stencil and gently rub over the whole image. Lift, let dry. Drys really quick.

Trim down and paste a verse over the lower corner. Quick and easy.

New Stencils: Day 2

While playing with the Kitty Kat No#2 and alcohol inks, I accidentally came up with a card I really liked!

First, I pasted Kat no#2 with white paste, let dry. Position the stencil over the top of image and tap Dreamweaver Alcohol Inks over it.

I cut out the kitty so it would stand out from the paper more.

Because there was so much ink left on the stencil, I didn't want to waste it so I shook some Color Solution Cleaner over it, set a piece of white glossy paper on it, rubbed and got a reverse image.

I liked how this turned out so well, I tryed some other stencils. Check back tomorrow to see what other stencil I used with the same technique.

Don't miss the other Dreamweaver designers blogs to see what they are doing with the new images!!
