Distress Dreamweaver Style!

It's Dreamweaver Thursday for the Stampendous Design Team, and we're excited to share some of our ideas for using stencils with all the other wonderful products Stampendous offers to create great distress style projects. DecoArt also generously provided the designers with product to recreate Andy Skinner's wonderful rust technique. See the Stampendous blog from Monday for a great video of Andy's rust technique.

Here's my distress project for today:

Here are some of the supplies I used. 

• Fold a 6" x 9 1/4" piece of Core'dinations Tea Dye cardstock in half to form an A6 card
• Brush Quinacridone Gold from DecoArt around the edges of the front of the card, let dry
• Stamp the scratch pattern from the Andy Skinner Industrial set (ASCRS03) with Titan Buff from DecoArt, let dry
• Brush a combination of Quinacridone Gold, Paynes Grey, and Dura Clear Ultra Matte Varnish around the card edge, let dry
• Stamp the rust pattern from the Industrial set with Memento Tuxedo Black on cream cardstock until the piece is mostly covered in the rust pattern
• Brush a coat of Quinacridone Gold over the stamped rust pattern, let dry
• Paste the Pumpkin stencil, LL515, on cream cardstock with Regular Embossing Paste, remove stencil and sprinkle the wet paste with aged ochre emobssing enamel, tap off extra and heat set
• Brush a coat of Quinacridone Gold around the edges of the pumpkins, let dry
• Brush a combination of Quinacridone Gold, Paynes Grey, and Dura Clear Ultra Matte Varnish around the card edge, let dry
• Brush a large button with the same combination, sprinkle with some crushed Fran-tage fragments, pat into the varnish, let dry, then brush another coat over the fragments
• Layer everything together, use a Craft Glue Dot to add the button
