Continuing our tradition of posting Dreamweaver Stencil ideas every Thursday, I 'm sharing a card we did recently in a class I taught. It uses the beautiful Bearded Iris stencil (LL516) from Dreamweaver at Stampendous, and the Letterpress technique.
Letterpress Technique:
- Place the stencil face down on a clean paper towel
- Pat an ink pad all over the stencil (I used Brilliance Orchid on this) until you have a nice coat of ink
- Carefully place the stencil ink side up on the large platform of your die cut machine
- Place your cardstock over the inked stencil, then a Rubber Embossing Mat, and two cutting plates
- Run through the machine to press the ink off the stencil and onto the cardstock and emboss your image at the same time
- Stamp the filigree design on the edges of the card and place the Iris in the center
- You can do this with ink sprays too, just be sure to use a spray box to contain the mist
It just so happens that the beautiful Cling Filigree Stamp Set I used on the edges is part of the prize package for this week's Stampendous - Clear Scraps Blog Hop.
This week we are playing with some fantastic products from our friends at Clear Scraps and excited to share our finished projects. You can image how much fun it is to have a clean canvas to start with but when you use Clear Scraps it’s a see-through canvas!
