These first five cards were done using the new variegated gold leaf. (Instructions may be found HERE.) I apologize that the scans do not do justice to the finish - it is really much more brilliant than they show here.

LM196 with LL320 foliage and punched flowers (gold leaf on the vase only)

The following two cards, along with the one on the above right (hearts) were done using the new Antiquing Sprays, purchase HERE. These samples are courtesy of Dreamweaver Stencils© and though I am not sure where to give credit for most of them, I do know that the lovely Christmas card with the blue trees was done by Jennifer (Lynell's Girl Friday).

LL466 Present, LM248 happy birthday         LL512  Three Christmas Trees

The LOVE card was done with gold paste, substituting stenciled LM140 in place of the "O".  The heart card is a combination of the faux cross stitch technique (instructions HERE) and the stenciled border.

The final two cards on this page are done using the Strie` Technique (a simple technique pulling pigment ink across a dry embossed design.) A large bristle brush works best for this. Dreamweaver's new short handled maroon brushes are ideal for this technique and may be purchased HERE. Dry emboss the design, remove stencil. Place card on a piece of scrap paper and beginning in one corner and off the card, pull the brush straight toward you. The majority of the color will end up on the edge of the cardstock. Lift brush as you reach the center of the design and work all the way across the card. Rotate the card and repeat application from each side.
