True Harvest



Have you enjoyed the Dreamweaver Stencils and Quietfire Design Blog Collaboration? I have so enjoyed playing with the Quietfire Design team, and their amazing sentiments. In their beautiful calligraphic style, their quotes and thoughts are the perfect addition to our Dreamweaver designs. Follow along with us on our final hop today and leave your comments for an opportunity to win one of two wonderful prize packages:


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



I love fall and I love pumpkins!  I love anything pumpkin flavored, too!  So, it only seemed fitting to create a card using Stencil LJ 874, Fall Borders with my favorite fall fruit!  Using my stenciling brushes and a variety of Memento Dewdrops, I stenciled my design onto a piece of Neenah Classic Crest.  When I finished stenciling, I trimmed my image down and roughed the edges with my paper distressing tool.  Using Stampendous Boss Gloss, I inked my Quietfire Design The True Harvest of My Daily Life stamp and stamped it onto my image.  I added my Stampendous Detail Black Embossing Powder and heat embossed it.  I took my Zig Emboss Writer and added little dots around my sentiment and added more Stampendous Detail Black EP for some additional texture.  Next I brushed on Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Antique Linen and then edged it lightly with Tea Dye Distress Ink.  I created my card base with some green card stock I had in my stash.  For my patterned papers I used Bo Bunny’s Apple Cider Collection 6x6 Paper Pad.  I created a mat for my image that I also distressed the edge of and added some Tea Dye Distress Ink around the edge.  I adhered it all together with Beacon Zip Dry and, using a glue dot, I added a piece of May Arts ribbon I thought looked similar to a vine that I tied in a knot.  All done!
