This month the team is creating with anything that flutters. Today I chose butterflies because I AM READY FOR SPRING. We have about 10 feet of snow here in Western Montana and I am ready for some window open weather!!
I can't believe that I haven't tried this before, but today I used stencils with velvet paper in my die cutting machine. I LOVE THE RESULTS!!! I dry embossed the velvet paper with same way that I would have embossed regular paper. My "embossing sandwich" is multi layer platform, stencil, paper, rubber embossing mat, TWO acrylic cutting plates. I put the TWO cutting mats on last, so that I don't accidentally bend my stencil.
I used a new release stencil from Dreamweaver Crusade LX7025:
I then went on to use the Double Glitter Technique on two different DW Butterfly Stencils:
When I was done with the Double Glitter Technique, I cut my designs out and adhered them to my background in a 3D manner.
Obviously I wouldn't be able to mail this card in a traditional envelope, it could be mailed in one of those pizza box mailers, if you know what I am talking about.
I decided I was so happy with my creation, I put a frame behind it and placed in on my shelf in my craft studio/office.
I never make things for myself and all day I have been looking at this and love it more and more!!

This was an awesome technique done by you.
Hope to try it soon.

WOW, great creation Wendy! It must have such texture in person between the velvet paper and the glitter. It would make me happy to look at it throughout the day too! We only have about 2 feet of snow, but enough already!
