Skater Family!

The Stampendous Design Team has a theme of "Winter Friends" this week. We have a darling new stamp set by that name (CLICK HERE to see it). I'm combining the weekly theme with our Stencil Thursday theme. What's better than spending time at the holidays with family and friends! This great Skater Family (DWLL575) from the Dreamweaver Stencils line is paired with the beautiful new Holly Pattern Metal Stencil (FMS4043) from Stampendous and Dreamweaver's Merry Christmas stencil (DWLS92).

Step 7:  Use the Rubber Embossing Mat and die cut machine to dry emboss a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of white using the Holly Pattern stencil, trim the embossed image close to the design
Step 8:  Use a 1/2" stencil brush and the Summer Sky ink to brush some color over the embossed design, then use the edge of the ink pad along the edge of the panel to darken it
Step 9:  Adhere the Holly Pattern near the upper left corner of the card and the Skater Family near the lower right
