Thursday......Really ?
I can't believe it is already Thursday and I don't have a post ready. I hope this is not a sign of how this month is going to go. My daughter Rachel is having a small surgical procedure done today and I guess this has been on my mind this week. Please keep in your prayers. Lucky for me I had this card done that I am teaching in a couple of weeks at Scrapbook Territory in Berkeley.
I used the Cypress Tree stencil (LG 650 ). The first thing I did was to distress the paper using Adirondack Denim ink leaving a white area in the middle. I then taped down my stencil and pasted the image with Black Matte Paste, remove and clean the stencil. When the image was dry I repositioned the stencil and pounced on some glue ( Palette Stamp and Stick Glue Pad) using a jumbo dauber keeping the glue just around the edges. I then painted on the Metallic F/X, the colors I used were Kiwi and Cocoa. I added some Stampendous Mica pieces from their Frantage collection at the bottom of the tree. This tree takes me to the beach and that definately says Summer to me.
I hope you'll play along in our Summer Fun Challenge, just go to the Dream it Up blog and link your creation to Mr. Linky or e-mail your card to Lynell's e-mail and she will get it onto the blog. My computer is having an issue today so to see what you can win go to the Dream It Up blog and check it out, a sneak peek of a new stencil coming out at CHA.
I think this is beautiful Georgia. I love what is under the tree and the blue halo you stenciled around the tree...I think some people will feel like they got their money's worth just learning how you did that...Georgious as usual.
ReplyDeleteWow, this absolutely stunning. Very serene and peaceful!
ReplyDeleteYou've done a beautiful job, but i bet this picture doesn't do it justice, the shine is evident, but I wish i could admire it in person!
ReplyDeleteI love this and that is one of my fav stencils! GREAT job!
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the Lone Cypress at Pebble Beach – one of my favorite places. A lovely interpretation, right down to the "rock" is growing out of! Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful, Georgia. You used one of my favorite stencils, and I love the way you colored it with the mica powders.
ReplyDeleteI love this stencil, you did a great job. I like the chunky embossing stuff at the base.
ReplyDeleteOh Georgia, this is fabulous! Your students will love it!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful! Cypress trees always remind me of Carmel. Love the Central Coast! Hope everything went well with your daughter.
ReplyDeleteYou did a fabulous job with this stencil. I love the look and thought that it was crackle paste. Imagine my surprise when I read how you did it! I love being surprised! Great job, Georgia.
ReplyDeleteI had the privilege of attending Georgia's class at Scrapbook Territory this last weekend, and as usual, it was fantastic! I love Dreamweaver stencils and the cypress tree done with Georgia's technique is amazing! Can't wait for the next class! Thank's for all your hard work Georgia, you're the best!
