New Stencils, New Stamps, New Fun!

What a fun week we’ve been having on the Stampendous Design Team with Imagine Crafts AND new product release.   For my card today, I’ve used my very favorite Dreamweaver stencil ever!  I love this stencil and it’s really cool that it has a matching die, I know you’re going to want, no, NEED, them both!  

Here’s what I’ve used to create this card:

Stampendous® Dreamweaver Stencil LX7020 Leafless Tree

Stampendous® SSC1224 Forest Sayings Perfectly Clear™ Stamps

Stampendous® Mixed Media White Paper 

Imagine Crafts Memento™ Gray Flannel Dew Drop by Tsukineko®

Imagine Crafts Memento™ Espresso Truffle Dew Drop by Tsukineko®

Imagine Crafts Memento™ Nautical Blue Dew Drop by Tsukineko®

Imagine Crafts Radiant Neon® Electric Blue Ink Pad by Tsukineko®

Imagine Crafts Radiant Neon® Amplify!™ Electric Blue by Tsukineko®

Imagine Crafts Radiant Neon® Amplify!™ Electric Yellow by Tsukineko®

Imagine Crafts Radiant Neon® Amplify!™ Electric Orange by Tsukineko®

Imagine Crafts Radiant Neon® Amplify!™ Electric Green by Tsukineko®

Blue Cardstock by Bazzill Basics Paper®

Zip Dry™ Paper Glue by Beacon Adhesives

Look at all the yummy texture!!

Here’s what I did to create this card:

Using a stipple brush, cover a large section of the white paper with blue ink for sky.

Tape stencil to paper and apply gray ink.

Using a small flat paint brush, add espresso ink along edges to add some visual depth.

Mix blue, orange, green and yellow Amplify! inks to get two shades of green.

Stipple on Amplify! mixes for dark and light sections of leaves, heat to puff.

Paint on Amplify! mixes for grass, heat to puff.

Add little dots of blue Amplify! and heat for flowers

Create card base with a tent fold and attach card front.

(Here’s where I decided I wanted the green mixture to go all the way to the bottom of the card, so, I added more of the mix and heated it.)

Stamp sentiment with blue ink.
