Break
out the frou frou! For the month of February, the Dream Team are going
Frilly and Fabulous! Vintage, retro, or modern, adding extra charm with
fun Fran•tagé products from Stampendous, ribbons and lace from May Arts,
buttons, crystals, charms, or even creating your own dimensional decor!
A snippet or a pile, whatever your creative heart desires! Remember to
link your creations using the Inlinkz tool on the Dream It Up! blog for a chance to win the stencil of your choice! Bonus points for using Dreamweaver and/or Stampendous product in your work of heart.)
Here's what I have to show you today:
Don't you just love this card created by our good friend, Elaine Benedict? She's created such a wonderful soft background using the Mission Roses stencil and soft ink colors. She cut a window from the front so that when you open the card, you see the entire Rose Tree design. The technique used was a one-step cloisonne:
1. Paste-emboss the stencil first using the regular embossing paste, remove the stencil and let the image dry.
2. Using small and medium stencil brushes, ink stencil the Rose Tree design on the inside of the card with pigment ink (Splendor by Tsukineko).
3. Cover inked surface with Deep Impressions Embossing Powder from Stampendous, and heat to melt. The picture below shows more of the shine and dimension from this technique.
That's it! For more depth, you can continue to layer on more ink, and more clear powder, heating in between. However, it's obvious that one step looks wonderful as well, and would be a great way to create several of these cards at a time with various sentiments for other occasions...birthday, Valentines, Mother's Day, Get Well, Sympathy...or Thinking of You as Elaine has done. Elaine has kept her frou frou simple by just adding a soft gingham ribbon from May Arts, so don't let the idea of added frills keep you from linking your own creations for the challenge this month!
