This week we are talking about tree's, and I know the perfect Dreamweaver stencil . . . Bare Tree's Stencil! It' one of my favorites, and I can't wait to share this fun technique!
For this card you will also need Dreamweaver Regular Paste 4 Oz, Dreamweaver Palette Knife, Paste Spreader, and Distress Ink Re-inkers in Mustard Seed, Ripe Persimmon, and Weathered Wood. To finish the card you'll need Stampendous Say It Perfectly Clear Stamps, Black Diamond Stickles, and Black Jewel Border Dazzles.
First you'll want to tape down your stencil to a piece of 4 1/8" x 6 1/4" black cardstock. Separate 3 piles of Dreamweaver paste onto a paper plate and tint each one with the 3 different Distress Ink colors. In a horizontal line spread the grey at the top of the stencil, the orange near the center, and the yellow towards the bottom. Use your spreader to pull the paste downward over the stencil. The colors will blend together to create a sunset (NOTE: if you miss a spot spread side to side so you don't mess up the gradient of color that you just created).
Second remove the stencil, and let it dry completely. Adhere onto 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" grey card. Fill black areas with Black Diamond Stickles. Let dry. Stamp sentiment, and add border.
