Today I had to share with you one of my very favorite Dreamweaver Stencils. It's the Hydrangea stencil! I love Hydrangea's! For this Dreamweaver Thursday I wanted to make a card that was really focused on process rather that quickly getting through it. Sometimes it's nice to just take your time and enjoy the steps, and artistic process. By adding layers and layers to a project you build up and end result that's really stunning.
Here is my layered card. I used the technique of Crackle Embossing Paste over Black Embossing Paste to make a weathered look. I can't wait to show you how I created it!
You'll need:
Dreamweaver Hydrangea Stencil
Dreamweaver Black Embossing Paste
Dreamweaver Crackle Embossing Paste

Sponge Dauber
Peerless Watercolors - Wisteria Violet, Sky Blue

Stencil Tape
Versamark Ink
Distress Inks - Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, Seedless Preserves, Mowed Lawn, Twisted Citron, Black Soot

Instructions:
1. Cut a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" white cardstock. Tape down stencil and spread Dreamweaver Black Embossing Paste over stencil. Let Dry.
2. Replace stencil over black embossed image. Lightly spread on Dreamweaver Crackle Embossing Paste. Let Dry.
3. Replace stencil once more and use sponge daubers to apply Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, Seedless Preserves, Mowed Lawn, Twisted Citron, Black Soot Distress Inks. Let dry. Next dab water on areas around flower, and dab with Peerless watercolors. Let dry completely.
4. Cut 5 3/4" x 5" black card. Stamp sentiment with Versamark and sprinkle with White embossing powder, heat set.
5. Glue to card front. Cut corners from purple cardstock, and glue to corners. Add rhinestones.
