Dreamweaver Challenge : CAS

After the Dreamweaver Stencils' February challenge of St. Pat's or Green, are you a little tired of green? Then this month provides the opportunity of doing any color you wish...including green. However, you have to keep it clean...and simple! Yep. We are challenging you to create with your Dreamweaver products in a CAS style. This is our way of encouraging you to begin your "Spring Cleaning" a little early, and far more fun than sorting cupboards and washing windows!
I have loved this stencil since the moment I saw it. For today post I used The Tall Poppy (LL3023) and I wanted my card to have a soft quality to it so I decided to use Pan Pastels. These are artist grade and ultra soft. First I ran the Tall Poppy through my big kick to emboss it onto the cardstock, then leaving the stencil in place I added color to my poppy using a small stencil brush and the Pan Pastels. The colors I used were : Bright Yellow Green tint, Bright Yellow Green shade, Orange and Orange shade. I used a light orange card stock and used a green layer underneath the image, I punched on side of the green paper using a Martha Stewart border punch, I added a couple of pearl embellishments and I was done. Clean and Simple just my style.

Now you have the opportunity to play along. Create your own Clean and Simple design (preferably with Dreamweaver Stencils' products) and link it to theDream It Up! blog from your own blog, online gallery, or just sent us an email (lynell@...) of your creation for us to show off on the blog. At the end of March, we will select two winners to win a set of these stencils each:

LJ899-Lrg. Thinking of You

LG742-Pointed Celtic Knot
