Instructions:

Step 1:  Fold a 6" x 9 1/2" piece of Coral Rose cardstock in half to form an A6 card

Step 2: Tape the Creamy Cupcake stencil to a 3 1/2" x 4 1/2" piece of  Pink Delight cardstock with removable tape
Step 3: Use a palette knife and paste spreader to apply Regular Embossing Paste to the Creamy Cupcake design, remove stencil, let paste dry
Step 4:  When the paste is dry, use the stencil brush to add color to the "cupcake wrapper" part of the design, using the picasso tool to keep color off the "frosting", use a small paint brush to apply glue to the frosting then sprinkle with Crystal glitter
Step 5:   Tape the Batik stencil to a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of white with removable tape, use the stencil brush to add color over the design

Step 6: Adhere the Batik to a 4 3/8" x 5 5/8" piece of Pimento then to the card front
Step 7:  Adhere the Creamy Cupcake to a 3 5/8" x 4 5/8" piece of Pimento then to the Batik layer
Step 8:  Stamp the Happy Birthday image on white paper, use the Fitted Frames to die cut the Happy Birthday and a matching frame from a piece of Pimento
Step 9:  Use foam tape to apply the Happy Birthday to the card front

Dreamweaver Gone Wild!

Today is Dreamweaver Thursday for the Stampendous Design Team, and we are still going wild this week! We're all excited to share some fun designs with you for our weekly challenge of "Let's Go Wild!" Stop by the Stampendous Blog each day this week for lots of wild ideas!

Several team members are featuring the new Pen Pattern stamps from the April Stampendous catalog. They are wildly adorable and perfect for adding a few tangles to the design.  Well, not to be outshined, and in keeping with the weekly theme, I'm featuring two of the great elephant stencils from Dreamweaver. These are perfect for adding a little, or a lot of wonderful patterns to the design!

For all three cards, I used a Faber-Castell PITT artist pen, in black (S), to outline the image on white cardstock. I colored them with Chameleon Color Tones pens,  YG3, PK3, CG8, and CB (the sten-tangled one also had BG4).  Mounted them on fun colorful cardstock from Bazzill, and added the perfect little sayings that were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black.
The great thing is you can keep it simple, like the first two, or add several tangles for a more patterned look.  The Fragments from Stampendous are fun to add to anything using a little glue where you want to add them. Of course, a beautiful ribbon from May Arts always makes a card look better too!

Here's who else has gone wild today!
