Dream Scheme Thursday-Free Challenge week

Hi all ... I sorry this didn't get on my blog as early as it should. I'm here is Tucson Arizona for the week visiting with my mom and my sister. this card is one that I really enjoyed doing, t was one of the stencils I was given for a challenge. This stencil is one of the new backgrounds that was launched at CHA summer it's the triangle weave. I started by doing the bottom layer, I rouged in adirondack inks by ranger using lemonade, butterscotch, lettuce and eggplant. Once I had the color in I left the stencil in place and pasted with translucent paste, this paste gives the color a kind of tile look and really pops the color. Next I took another piece of paper and rouged in the same colors on this one however I did not do the paste, I took the celebrate stencil and pasted with black glossy paste. I then let everything dry while I picked out paper in shades that I liked for layering. Once the paste was dry I layered the card together and added a orange bow and pearl hat pin.
Thanks for stopping by and Happy Thanksgiving to our Canadian neighbors. Don't forget to check out the blogs of the rest of the Dream Team and leave us all a comment. See you all next week.

  3. This all comes together beautifully, Georgia. And the translucent paste over ink is such a fun technique. But the glossy black paste really makes it pop.
