Good morning!!
Welcome to Week Two of our Dreamweaver Valentine Challenge!!
For the month of January, we challenge you to create something for Valentine's Day! You have until January 31st, 11:59 PM EST, to post and link your creation(s) to the Dream It Up! Blog Mr. Linky. The winners will be announced February 2nd, along with the February challenge. Here is my version of this month's challenge:
Clean & Simple card created with Glossy Black Embossing Paste
Clean & Simple card created with Dry Embossing
Both of the above cards were made with Heart Swirls (LL567) and You & Me (LS99).
The first card was paste embossed with Glossy Black Embossing Paste, and layered with coordinating cardstock.
The second card was made by layering stencil, paper, Stampin’ Details rubber mat and two acrylic plates on a die cutting machine platform and rolling it through the machine. Layer focal images as desired.
These are a pretty and simple way to recreate easy Valentine’s.
I made one more card this week that is just as Clean & (most importantly) Simple…
I have recently fallen in love with my Plum Branch (LL535) stencil. This card was simply created by paste embossing Vase (LG615) stencil with Metallic Gold Embossing Paste. Once that was dry, I replaced the Vase stencil over the dry paste and taped it down with Scotch Removable Tape. I placed the Plum Branch stencil on the vase where desired and kept in place with removable tape as well. I protected all of the areas that I didn’t want black paste with more tape. I then paste embossed with Glossy Black Embossing Paste. Once dry, I cut the card panel to the desired size and assembled card as desired.
