Xu X is one of Dreamweaver Stencils© admirers from China,
who created this beautiful card! She uses inks for the color and adds some
interesting embellishments for accent. Looks like she may have used some
gold glitter on the LL354 Love Character. |

Xu also submitted this ocean view card, once again using
inks for the stenciling. She got very creative, using her obvious talents to
create the geese flying over the water. Thank you for sharing from your far
away location, Xu! |

Mary D of FL says the Flamingo Stencil was her very first
one of many Dreamweaver Stencils that she has purchased. She came up with
this attractive card for her "beading buddy". She began by dry embossing the
flamingo, then stenciling with inks, using a dauber. Let dry very well,
re-position stencil and apply Dreamweaver Translucent Paste over the design
area. The card is then placed in a die-cut frame of lime green with Thai
mulberry paper as a background before mounting on a coral colored card.
Wooden beads were added, along with the Happy Birthday message. A truly
striking card, Mary. |

Theresa L from IL sent this beautiful, delicate card. She
began by paste embossing the bells with Dreamweaver Translucent Paste and
applied glitter while still wet. Blue ribbon and star/ribbon stickers were
then added. Isn't it lovely? |

Karen M from North Carolina created these two gorgeous
cards, both requiring a lot of time and effort. She states that nothing
prepared her for the excitement and fun she has found with stenciling and
dry-embossing, giving God the credit for the blessings received personally
and to the recipients of her cards.
LL375 was first paste embossed with Dreamweaver Regular Embossing Paste,
then heat embossed with red embossing powder when dry. The leaves were
shaded using pigment inks over the paste. |

LG665 was first paste embossed with Regular Embossing Paste,
then stenciled with pigment inks. The Picasso (LL332) was used to create
clouds, using shades of white and blue. (Great job, Karen! - they're
beautiful.) Next she applied Translucent Paste to the rock area and while
wet sprinkled the glass beads, making them look like rocks. The grass area
was done with dimensional glaze and perfect pearls, using a stenciling brush
to give it a grass-like appearance. |

Karen W from IL created this beautiful Christmas card. Sorry
the scan does not nearly do it justice. She started out by paste embossing
LG651 with DEP (Regular Embossing Paste) on shiny dark blue cardstock. While
paste is still wet, apply white glitter. Then she used glitter glues for the
rest of the design - red for the ornaments, gold for the star and green for
the pot. |

You may remember Judy C as the creator of the cactus pot on
page 1 of the guest gallery. If not, you will want to take another look at
it. She received her prize stencil (LM235) in the mail and immediately got
inspired to, along with the use of stencils LJ874 Fall Borders & LL324
Circle, assemble this beautiful card! LL324 has been discontinued and no
longer available, but there are several other circle stencils that can be
used as well.
Judy first embossed the flower on a square of yellow cardstock, then
centered the circle over the flower design and embossed the circle. Next she
embossed the oak leaves from LJ874 on each corner, then stenciled flowers
and leaves for the embossed designs with pigment ink. With an Exacto Knife
cut out the circle and the embossed flower design. Mount the yellow square
on the piece of dark cardstock, apply dimensional tape to the back of the
flower and place in center of circle. Emboss a border of leaves from LJ874
and LM235 on bottom of contrasting cardstock and mount. Judy likes to use
Prismacolor pencils to vein the leaves. I loved getting this outstanding
work of art in the mail - wouldn't you? Treat your friends to a copy. |

We have Tisha H of TN to thank for this lovely card. She
started by dry-embossing LG634 on scrapbook paper, sanded it and stamped
designs on it, then cut it down to the size she desired. She punched the
corners and wrapped metallic thread around it, from one corner to another.
Next she glued it to white cardstock and re-mounted on the chiyogami paper,
which had already been glued to a white cardstock base. Great job, Tisha! |
