Here's what I've created for today's post:


This week I paste embossed Dreamweaver Stencils new Great Pumpkin stencil (LL3036) with Glossy White Embossing Paste.  Once the paste was dry, I replaced the stencil over the dry paste and started adding drops of Color Solutions Alcohol Inks.  The colors I used were Aspen Leaf, Lemoncello and Mojito Green.  I also added Color Solutions Cleaner/Thinner  over the top of the colored drops. The Cleaner/Thinner allowed the colors to thin and I was able to move the colors around with a cotton swab.

Art Institute Glitter was added with a Zig Glue Pen in the areas that paste wasn't present.  Colors used were:  Opaque Leaf, Transparent Ultra fine Gingerbread and Transparent Ultra Summer Tree.

The sparkle doesn't stop here.  The Dreamweaver Dream Team has each created and Awesome Autumn project and trust me, they will be sparkly!!!

What a fun project!!  I was able to use so many fun products!!!  Here is my list of supplies:


  
The Peacock Feather stencil is one of my top favorites from Dreamweaver Stencils!  I have been dreaming of creating a copper and turquoise card with this stencil for weeks!!  I used the Molten Magic technique.  If you haven't heard of this technique, I will give you a quick tutorial.
I paste embossed the Peacock Feather stencil with Dreamweaver Pearlescent Embossing Paste on copper cardstock.  I worked quickly sprinkling glitter and Dreamweaver Stencils Metallic FX over the top of the wet paste. Once I was satisfied with my color coverage, using a heat tool, I heated the paste until it bubbled, then after a few moments of cooling, I patted down the bubbles on the paste with my finger. 


Quietfire Designs beautiful You Don't Know How Strong stamp, was stamped with embossing ink and heat embossed with Stampendous Copper Penny Embossing Powder.  The sentiment was edged with Aged Teal Embossing Enamel from Stampendous.

Here's what I've created for today's post:


I love using glitter and the Double Glitter Technique (view my Double Glitter Technique video on the Video Technique page) is one of my "go to" techniques.   I wanted to mix it up today.   I used a "cheater" glittering technique and teamed it with a bit of Zentangle.  Honestly, I wasn't sure how this would turn out and I am really not sure if I like it or not, so leave me a comment and tell my your thoughts of how I could have mixed these two techniques, better.



My supply list is pretty simple Dreamweaver Stencils LJ 823,  recently released Crowing Rooster LG753, Art Institute Glitter Opaque Ultrafine Summertree, Transparent Ultrafine Gingerbread, Transparent Ultrafine Crystal and Opaque Ultrafine Leaf from the Pee Wee Tulip Kit.  The sentiment is from the Gentle Thoughts collection from Quietfire Designs.  Other supplies were Copic Microliner Pen, and Dreamweaver Double Sided Adhesive Paper.


I started by tracing the Crowing Rooster stencil with my black .25 Microliner pen onto white paper and then tracing again on the white side of the Dreamweaver Double Sided Mounting Paper.  With the same pen, I Zentangled the Crowing Rooster.  

I then started cutting apart the Double Sided Mounting Paper I had traced in the first step.  Once I had all of my desired pieces cut out, I removed the protecting backing from the paper and placed it in the matching traced area on the Zentagled image.  Once all pieces were in place, I removed the top protective backing and started applying my desired colors of glitter.

Discontinued Dreamweaver Stencil LJ823 was then dry embossed into the card base.  You can see the embossed area in the below photo better. 

I thought that this quote from Quietfire Designs was fitting to use for a Crowing Rooster .  Haha!!  I know that my rooster always has PLENTY to say.  I need to remember this at 5:30am when he is "singing his song"!!  Haha!!
