Thursday Dream Scheme
While you're browsing the great creations from this week's Dreamweaver Stencils Thursday Dream Scheme, I'll be visiting Minnie and Mickey and the wonderful land of Disney with my family! This week is designer's choice so I decided to share one of my favorite older stencils, Dreamweaver's Dragon (LJ844). He makes up into fabulous cards for those dragon lovers you know (I have two sons who loved D&D, still do). Here he is done with the faux cloisonne technique:
To start, tape the dragon stencil to black paper and apply Yellow Matte Embossing Paste. Remove and clean the stencil and let the paste dry. Place the clean, dry stencil back over the dry paste and use small stencil brushes and pigment inks to color the dragon. Remove the stencil and sprinkle Ultra-Thick Embossing Enamel (UTEE) over the image, heat carefully. Let the image cool, place the stencil back over the design and add more color where desired. Sprinkle with regular Embossing Powder and carefully heat set the whole image. Mount on coordinating papers and embellish as desired.

Louise I love this technique the dragon really pops. Iam going to try this technique as soon as I find my embossing powders in the garage...or maybe I'll just have to break down and buy somemore. This is a great card I really like it.
WOW Louise, this is a real beauty! I love the embossing technique and paired with this stencil and the gorgeous colors - what an "eye-catcher!"
This faux cloisonn e technique is done beautifully on the dragon. Hope you are enjoying Disney! Stay cool!
Wow Louise, this is fantastic and the colors are soo vibrant!! Enjoy your family vacation!!
I love this technique! So easy and so impressive. You did a great job.
This dragon card is soooooo cool. Wonderful colors and technique!
This is really a great card. I think you had it with you in Chicago at the classes, and I remember being really stricken with it at the time. Fantastic!
SPECTACULAR!!
Gorgeous dragon and the colors and shading are top notch! Hope you're enjoying family time.
