Still feeling festive? We hope so! Dreamweaver and Ranger still have two weeks
left of our Festively
Distressed collaboration, and we are full of distressing
ideas...Tim Holtz' Distress Powder ideas,
that is. Mixed with our fabulous line of stencil designs and exciting products,
your creativity will know no bounds! If you missed the first two weeks, start HERE and HERE!
For our postings this week and next, we are offering you the opportunity to
win one of two prize packages, perfectly coordinated for your holiday crafting.
Simply leave a comment on each of our Dream
Team's posts, and YOU could be one of two randomly
selected winners!
The Dream Team have been challenged for the month of
November to create something CAS (clean and simple) for the holidays. The extra
challenge is mixing the Distress
Powders in for the collaboration with Ranger.
Think that it's possible? Well...let's see...
Here's what I came up with:
 |
| Tape LL316 Gaslight to striped cardstock and spread with Glossy White Embossing Paste. Remove and clean the stencil Sprinkle the NOEL with Peeled Paint Distress Embossing Powder, tap off extra. Use a straw to place the other colors of embossing powders, holding the design at an angle so the extra powder falls off to the side of the image |
 |
| Continue adding powders to each area. Fired brick on bow, black soot on the pole, weathered wood on the lamp edges and finial, mustard seed on the flame, and black soot to finish the top. Mount it on a small black mat, then to the front of a card with matching papers. |
 |
| LL316 Gaslight with Glossy White Embossing Paste and Distress Powders |
 |
| LL316 Gaslight with Glossy Black Embossing Paste and Distress Powders |
 |
| Here they are side by side. You can see what a difference it makes to put the black paste under the powders rather than the white, the colors are very deep on the black. |
So tell me what you think in your comment below before heading over to the
rest of the Dream Team posts:
The Ranger blog is offering another amazing prize opportunity, just for playing along with the Ranger/Tim Holtz Distress Powders and Dreamweaver Stencils and linking your creation on the Ranger blog. You can find more details HERE.
We hope that you have been inspired by our creations, and will continue to
follow the Dream Team through the Dream It Up! blog as well as to like us on our Facebook page. We really encourage you to play
along with our monthly challenges for more prize opportunities and creative
fun!
Happy Creating,
Louise

THat's really beautiful. The candy striped paper makes a beautiful background. Thanks for sharing your technique.
Side by side comparisons are striking. Like them both for very different reasons.
How fun are those peppermint stripes with stencil designs!
I love how you made the gaslight seem to pop. Very nice! Thanks
I like how you showed the difference between the two pastes and how they affect the final color perception of the distress powders. Beautiful...both of them though!
lovely card. I've never used embossing paste. The result looks great!
