Dreamweaver Challenge for February: Going Green or St. Patty's Day


Well it's Thursday again and this month the challenge is st. Patty's Day or green and in this card I used both. I have a lot of paper thatI have been storing for that perfect card or layout and so I went to my stash and found this great paper from Best Creations. It was different shades of green, had shamrocks and glitter on it what more could a girl ask for. So using that as my jumping off point, I then got out my Shamrock Stencil (LS58 ). the paper I used for my shamrocks is from bazzill basics. I rouged in color using a large 1/2 inch stencil brush and Momento New Sprout and Bamboo Leaves ink. Next I pasted the shamrock in White glossy paste towards the top and then I sprinkled it with green glitter while it was still wet. Then I pasted the two stencils at the bottom using regular embossing paste when that was dry I then used Versacolor Sage and Olive , and Ultra Thick embossing powder to do a Faux Cloisonne look.
When I was done I layered it all together and Voila! a beautiful card for and Irish friend. Last month we had a few people play along with out challenge, all those people are winning the 2 stencils shown on the Dream It UP blog go there to find out what they are. If you are having a hard time using Mr. Linky to get us you creations you can also e-mail Lynell your photo and she will get it onto the blog. But just like the lottery you have to play to win. If you have any questions about todays card leave me your question and e-mail address and I will get you the information. Now y'all get out there and create and have fun. We'll see you here again next week.
