Dreamweaver-Stampendous Blog Hop Day 2!

Welcome to Day 2 of the Dreamweaver Stencils and Stampendous Faces of Art blog hop! The Dream Team always loves incorporating the great products from Stampendous into our creations.

We were challenged to create using Dreamweaver and Stampendous products, and based on the name of the hop, "Faces or Art", I have decided to incorporate a few different faces.  Here's what I created for you today:

LG706 - Monstera shape, and LS1014 - Kitty face

Yesterday's tropical face was serene and dreamy. Today's face is a little sly, like he's waiting to jump out at you from behind those leaves! The beautiful Monstera shape stencil (LG706) add a jungle feel to the card, and the Kitty face (LS1014) gives a hint of suspense. I used an ink transfer technique to make both leaves, one on the base card and one on a second piece of paper so I could cut it out. Distress inks were rouged into the background, then the Kitty face was paste embossed with Matte Black Embossing Paste. The flower from the Stampendous Blossom Beauty stamp set was stamped with VersaMark in the lower right corner and sprinkled with Stampendous shabby pink embossing enamel, heat set, then colored with Distress markers. The upper left corner was embossed with Stampendous aged silver embossing enamel.  As a final touch, I added some Stampendous taupe Color fragments in the other corners.
Hop on over to see what the other team members have created for you today!

February Flutters Final Edition!

Is it spring yet???? It certainly does not feel like spring. We still have a lot of snow on the ground here and we're supposed to get up to 10" more this weekend! Uncle! Thank goodness the sun is getting stronger each day and hopefully we'll have a beautiful spring soon. Hope springs eternal as the saying goes.

The Dreamweaver challenge for the month of February  is coming to a close, but we're pretty excited to share our final creations of "February Flutters", meaning anything that flutters. Heart flutters, wings that flutter, breezes, sails, etc. So, come along for the ride and link your own "flutterings" to the Dream It Up! blog for a chance to win the stencil of your choice. 

Meanwhile, here's my "fluttering" for the week featuring one of Dreamweaver's beautiful butterfly stencils and one of the die cuts.

LG706 - Monstera shape, LM121 - Butterfly
DD002 - Monstera leaf die cut

The background was created with the wonderful Monstera shape (LG706) stencil and Memories Mists spray on green cardstock. The Butterfly (LM121) stencil was paste embossed with a combination of some left over pastes on yellow cardstock, dried, then fussy cut. The three small Monstera (DD002) leaves were die cut from various shades of green cardstock. It has that warm "jungle" feel that I need right now.

The new die cuts are just wonderful. If you haven't seen them yet, flutter over to Stencil with Style to check them out.

Fly on over to the other team member blogs for their fluttering creations!
