Grand Finale...Dreamweaver Stencils/Ranger Collaboration


We've now had four weeks of festively distressed fun playing with the Ranger/Tim Holtz Distress Powders along with our wonderful line of Dreamweaver Stencils and products. Huge thanks to Tim Holtz and the fab people at Ranger for sharing these four collaborative weeks with us, and providing the yummy shades of Distress Powders for us to create with. We've been inspired by the process, and we hope you have, too! 

If you haven't won one of the prize packages yet, you still have one more opportunity this week as the set below is up for grabs to a random commenter on one of the Dream Team blogs

If you've been following along each week, you've seen some gorgeous creations with these stencils and powders, so you should be all fired up to get distressed! If you've missed the first three weeks, check them out once you've made the rounds today:

  

My festively distressed project for this week is this:

I love the holiday season and these are two of my favorite stencils, Small Snowflake (LS 26) and the Antler Snowflake (LL399). I started my card by using white card stock and distressing the card with Tim Holtz distress inks, Bundled Sage and Spun Sugar. I then pasted the snowflakes using regular embossing paste which I then sprinkled with Worn Lipstick and Old Paper Distress Powders on the wet paste. I let this dry and then brushed the image with a fluffy brush which removed some of the particles leaving a somewhat rustic look to the snowflakes. I mounted the layer with the image onto a darker teal card stock and then onto a decorative layer. I added a tulle bow in pink and an embellishment pin that started out ivory and then I added color solution alcohol ink in Noble Fir to make it a nice teal color. This was a simple card to do and I needed to do something real simple this week because we just moved and I haven't found all of my Art supplies yet. So now it's your turn to get out there and create. 

Don't forget to leave me some love before hopping to the rest of the Dream Team blogs:
