The Dreamweaver Stencils design team has a real treat for you this month...Christmas in August! We'll start by featuring some of our favorite designs from Christmas' past, and lead into a wonderful week long blog hop during the week of August 20th thru the 25th that will feature the newest designs just released at Summer CHA. You won't want to miss any of the fun!
For this first week, I chose a simple but elegant combination of stencils and techniques to share with you. Here it is:
 |
| LG731 Holly Flourish LL3009 Christmas script |
The beautiful Holly Flourish (LG731) stencil was emboss on Natural linen cardstock, deckled along the bottom edge, and Gold Krylon Pen was used to edge all the way around that layer before attaching it to the front of a dark green card.
The Christmas script stencil (LL3009) was paste embossed using the Glossy Green Embossing Paste on Natural Linen cardstock. When the paste was dry, the stencil was put back over the pasted image and a finger dauber was used to apply Palette Stamp and Stick glue over the green paste. The stencil was removed and a heat gun was used to gently heat the glue to make it tacky. Once the glue was ready, I layed a sheet of Green Leaf over the image and used a 1/2" stencil brush to tap the leafing in place and brush away the excess. Use Gold Krylon around the edges and mount on to a strip of dark green cardstock then to the front of your card.

This leafing technique on top of green embossing paste is genius! I love the gold highlighting as well...sooo pretty pretty pretty!
Love the green leafing and the deckle and gold around the edges are the perfect finishing touches.
