Thursday Dream Schemes

Hard to believe but it's Thursday already! Time for our Dreamweaver Stencils Thursday Dream Scheme challenge of the week.  We have another designer's choice this week so I thought I'd share this sweet, summery little notecard with you.
It just has that hot summer day feel doesn't it. Try this easy technique while you enjoy some air conditioning on these 100 degree days, it very simple.  Tape your stencil (I used Dreamweaver's LL582 Mum crest stencil) to white paper and use small stencil brushes to add color to the design. I used a pretty heavy coat of Brilliance Rocket Red and Thyme for this.  Remove and clean the stencil then tape it back over the stenciled image and  put a coat of Translucent Embossing Paste over it. Remove the stencil and immediately sprinkle the wet paste with crystal glitter.  Set it aside to dry, then mount into a great notecard that you can use for any occasion. Try it, you'll like it!
Check out the DREAM it UP! blog and all the other great designs on the Dream Team blogs.  We love hearing from everyone and use the Mr. Linky on Lynell's blog to share your work with us.
Happy Creating,
Louise

Thanks for reminding me of how much I love this technique and the stencil! Such a pretty note card. It reminds me of a tablecloth on a picnic table!

It's bright and cheery and certainly does remind me of warm summer days. Lovely card, as always, Louise.

I agree with Marijane it is beautiful and reminds of a tablecloth I have in my linen closet, one of my favorites. I also love the technique you used it is pretty and sparkly.

Another beautiful card, Louise. I like how you used the crystal glitter on top of the translucent paste. So sweet.

I've been reading your blog for months,but never knew how to make a comment. Tonight Lynell Harlow and the other Dreamweaver ladies told me what to do. I love all your cards and have been known to copy quite a few.
