CAS Challenge Week 3

This week I needed to make a baby shower card for a friend and I thought what a great way to do the Dreamweaver Challenge - Clean and Simple. I picked my paper which I've had for a while, I knew that with all the nieces and nephews I have someone would be having a baby. The paper is from Cloud 9 and has this nice shade of green so I picked a notecard in that shade of green. I used the Baby rattle stencil (LS 87)

and Regular Embossing Paste. I taped the stencil down on all four sides the used my Paste Spreader to paste the image. I then let the paste dry. When the paste was dry I repositioned the stencil and rouged in two shades of pink pigment ink, I started with the lightest one, then added some of the darker. I punched out the paper with the image with a scolloped oval punch (Marvy Uchida ) and then I used the back side of the print paper to punch out a larger scalloped oval. I added a light pink ribbon around the rattles handle. Pretty simple card. Now you can all play with us on our challenge by either sending your card to Lynell's e-mail or putting your card on Mr. Linky on the Dream It Up blog. Hope you have a great weekend being creative ... I know I will, I will be demonstrating Dreamweaver stencils at SCrapbook Expo this Friday in Pleasanton. See you all next week.
