Dreamweaver Stencils & Stampendous Blog Week!!!

 


Get ready to be inked, pasted, encrusted, stenciled and stamped! All of this week the Dreamweaver Stencils' Dream Team and the Stampendous Design Teams will be providing some "Dream-pendous" inspiration for you, with multiple opportunities to win some fabulous prizes from both companies. Each day this week, you will be directed from both the Stampendous Impressions' blog or the Dream It Up! blog to the players

du jour for your oohing and aaahing pleasure. Everyone will be playing on Saturday, the 14th with our final hop for the week. This is your opportunity to see how to mix and mingle your creativity...if you are a stenciler, you will be fascinated at combining stamps with your first love. If you are a stamper, you will be wowed at how stencils can add to your impressions.

Stampendous’ April Challenge is to recycle, repurpose or reuse around the house and incorporate it into your creation this month!  It just so happens that I made a fabulous frame out of an empty cereal box, applied embossing ink on the surface and heat embossed Aged Bronze Embossing Enamel.  It was the perfect start to getting this project jump started!!

I stamped Stampendous! newly released Cling Conservatory with Versafine Vintage Sepia on Kraft paper. I inked the edges and embossed Dreamweaver’s Diamond Grid stencil over the top of the stamped image. 

Before embossing, I applied embossing ink to the back of the stencil and embossed with a die cutting machine the stencil into the stamped area.  What was left, was my stamped image with embossing ink in a diamond grid pattern.  I sprinkled Stampendous Detail Gold Embossing Powder over the image and applied heat. 

With Dreamweaver Stencils Metallic Gold Embossing Paste, I pasted the “Fly Away” sentiment from the Bird Words (LG734) stencil.
