Get ready to be inked, pasted, encrusted, stenciled and stamped! This week, the Dreamweaver Stencils' Dream Team and the Stampendous Design Teams have had so much fun sharing "Dream-pendous" inspiration with you, and today we wrap things up with a terrific blog hop! You'll 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.
And since this hop falls on a Saturday, some of the Stampendous team members are combining their amazing Dreamweaver Stencils projects with the monthly Stampendous challenge. This month, in honor of Earth Day, we are challenging ourselves (and you) to make something that uses product(s) that are recycled, repurposed, or reused in some way.
Here's my card. My recycled item is the ribbon. It was on a gift I received from a friend and it was just too pretty to toss in the garbage....I KNEW I could use it someplace!
This was the first time I've used Pearlescent Embossing Paste. I had been very intimidated by the thought of using it, and, to be honest, I procrastinated. I was thrilled to find out that it was really easy to use and a lot of fun! I'll be using it again soon! I love the pearlescent sheen it gives to the stenciled image. It looks so elegant! The stencil I used today is LL599 Heart Whimsy. I think it's such a versatile stencil that can be used for so many occasions...birthday, anniversary, wedding, thinking of you. Today I chose to pair this stencil with the cute little butterflies from the Stampendous Charm Collection stamp set. I colored the butterflies with my Copic markers and cut them out. Before adhering them to the stenciled panel, I bent the wings up a bit to give them a bit of "movement". The sentiment is from the Stampendous Narcissus Perfectly Clear Stamp set.
Here's a close-up of one of the sweet little butterflies....
Okay, there you have all the deets on my card for today. Now it's time for you to get busy. First, be sure to leave a comment here on my blog with you email address for a chance to win one of these sets...
Then, sit back with a cup of coffee and prepared yourself to be wowed by all of the creative inspiration that is being shared with the combined Design Teams from Stampendous and Dreamweavers. Be sure to leave a little love at each stop along the hop in order to have a chance to with the great prizes being offered.
Here's the entire Dreamweaver Stencils/Stampendous party train for the hop today:
