You have to see this card to believe it - the only adjective
I can think to describe it is "magnificent". It truly is. Linda Stone
says Harry Potter inspired this
technique in his third book when he had a defensive spell that takes the form of a shimmery
buck.
Linda used Pearl-Ex Interference colors to create the background. Using a
finger dauber, apply glue from a glue pad over the entire tree stencil.
Randomly sprinkle blue, green, violet and just a splash of gold here and
there. Blend colors with a small piece of paper towel. Remove stencil and
blow away excess powder with an air gun, if available, being careful not to
smear the colors. Position the buck stencil, emboss with Regular Embossing
Paste and sprinkle with lots of glitter while paste is still wet.

Another of Kathy Henning's lovely cards. She's way ahead
of me on making her Christmas cards for this year! This one is simple, but
beautiful, using DGP (Gold Embossing Paste) to emboss the stencil. The
multiple mounts lend a great deal to the elegant look of the card. |

Kathy H created this neat card for her husband's
birthday. She pasted the design with DEP (Dreamweaver's Regular
Embossing Paste), then stenciled the turtle using pastel chalk inks. I
really like the shading on the turtle and the embroidery on the background
cardstock adds that special touch. |

Pam from Nebraska sent this attractive "mag-tag". These
would make a neat hostess or thank you remembrance. Pam used Dreamweaver Regular Embossing paste to emboss the stencil, then
stenciled with brilliant orange and green inks. Wish I could tell you how
she got the gold "crackle" effect, but frankly, am not sure. Pam is busy now
with lambs, calves and haying, so may have to wait till winter again to hear
from her to learn how it was done. She completed the overall design with a
touch of gold glitter. |

Kathy Henning says the cypress tree is one of her favorite stencils
of Lynell's and
she liked this card so well she could not part with it, but had it framed
for herself. I can understand why - makes a beautiful picture, doesn't it?
I believe Kathy stenciled this with the chalk inks, as that is one of her
favorite mediums for stenciling. She makes lots of cards and does great
work! And she is always willing to share. Thank you, Kathy!

Diane Smith, Dreamweaver's talented rep from Colorado, is
responsible for this cute harvest-time card!
Looks like Diane did some very creative work for the background before
embossing the scarecrow with DEP (Regular Embossing Paste), then stenciling
with inks. The multiple mounts and corner brads add the finishing touch. |
