Stampendous Surfer and Sandcastle Kiddos • Dreamweaver Hot Air Balloon, Ice Cream Cones, Summer, Mosaic Swirls, Bird Words, and Sandcastle stencils

Here's what I created:
 |
| Dreamweaver Stencils LL393 - Weathervane this will be available soon, it was just re-released for summer CHA |
Steps:
- Cut a piece of Dreamweaver Double-sided mounting paper slightly larger then the stencil in each direction
- Apply Dreamweaver Handmade Hawaiian Soap to the back of the weathervane stencil
- Use a large stencil brush to brush any soap flakes out of the stencil openings or off the surface of the stencil (front and back)
- Remove the release paper from the double-side mounting paper and center the stencil, soap side down, onto the sticky surface
- Use the release paper to press the stencil down, making sure all the small bridges of the stencil are adhered well
- Sprinkle all the exposed sticky surface with Stampendous Aged Teal Embossing Enamel (from the Encrusted Jewel Teal Kit EJK06)
- Tap off extra powder and return it to the container
- Heat the enamel to set it
- Sprinkle the background with Crystal glitter
- Mount onto a lime green mat (Bazzill Basics Two Scoops Mint Chip)
- Make a card with a lime green front and add a piece of coordinating paper (Bazzill Basics Santa Barbara Beach Bum) leaving about 3/4" of the lime green showing at the bottom
- Place 5 glue dots in a row across the bottom area
- Sprinkle with the Aged Teal Embossing Enamel and heat set
- Add the weathervane to the front with foam mounting tape
Don't forget to leave me a comment for a chance to win, and just 'cuz it's nice! Then hop on over to the next in line.
