Thursday's Dream Scheme_ Sketch Challenge

Hi it's Dream Scheme Thursday and this week we have a shetch challenge from Lee Kellogg. My computer still doesn't want to grab the sketches but you will see the sketch on all the other design team blogs. Here is my creation. while all my fellow drem team members have been thinking about Easter, I have been thinking Man Cards, this is probably do to the fact that I have a class coming up that is entitled MAN Cards.
For this card I used the New Age Celtic stencil (LL380) and I pasted with Metallic Gold Paste.
When the paste was dry, I repostioned the stencil over the image and using the jumbo dauber and Palette Gluepad I stippled the entire image with the glue. I removed the stencil and heatedthe glue for about 30 second or until you can pick the paper up with two finger pressed against the image. If the glue is still to sticky heat a little longer. I then carefully placed a sheet of Variegated Green Leafing over the image and then using a gentle stippling motion and a 3/4 inch stencil brush stippled lightly over the image (you will be able to see the image as you stipple). after you get that done use a circular rouging motion to remove the excess leafing ( I always use a folded paper for file folder underneath so I can collect the extra leafing which I will use for other projects.) If you have an area that doesn't leaf reapeat the process.
Because I have an abundance of metallic paper I decided to use a torn paper technique for the bottom of the card. I added a cord and knot of waxy floss for an accent. Everything ecept the paper and waxy floss is available from Dreamweaver stencil. Now go check out the rest of the teams blogs for somemore creative ways to use your Dreamweaver products, and don't forget to check out the Dream It UP blog for a lesson on Zentangling. See you next week, thanks for stopping by.

  2. Hmmmm.....i have been dabbling in the gold leafing as well. It is a technique that I really couldn't master until the other day. Lynell had sent all of the technique sheets so I had to figure out what I was doing wrong. Heating the glue...thats what I was missing. I hope you are well. Happy Easter!!

  5. OMGosh, Georgia. This is gorgeous. It is perfect for a "man" card, though I can think of a lot of other possibilities for it, including a set of note cards.
