Get ready to be inked, pasted, encrusted, stenciled and stamped! All of this week the Dreamweaver Stencils' Dream Team and theStampendous 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 theDream 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.
This is the first time I've worked with stencils and really had a lot of fun! I used the beautiful LJ899 Petals Background Stencil and ran it through my Cuttlebug, then before removing my stencil inked it up with Tsukineko Aloe Vera ink. I then stamped one of my favorite Stampendous stamps, Dragonfly Vine with VersaMark ink. I love the wayEmerald PEARLustre, Amethyst PEARLustre and Detail Gold Embossing Powders look when used together on an image. They almost look iridescent - LOVE IT!!!
To see all the beautiful stencils Dreamweavers offers, be sure to check them all out here.
