 Having just spent 2 full days with Lynell completing the Dreamweaver Certification Part 2.  It is good to just to make a card and share with everyone.

 Here is my card:-
   
and this is what you will need:-

 Dreamweaver Stencil LX7029 Spiral Dots
Dreamweaver Stencil LM175 Eyelet Edge
Stampendous Stamp CRP255 Tiered Dress
Black Momento Ink Pad
Deep Violet Cameleon Pen
Black Iris Co-ordinations card stock
Quickie Glue Pen
White pearl adhesive gems
White card stock
Dreamweaver Rubber embossing mat
Big Shot machine or machine of your choice
Stampendous Frantage Encrusted Jewels Kit - Vintage lilac embossing tinsel
Vintage Silver embossing paste
Heat Gun
Stampendous Pastel Glitter - Lavender
Promarker Bluebell
Organza Ribbon lilac and lilac with dots
Low tack tape
             
This is what you do:-

1 Take piece of A4 white card and cut to 51/2'' X 11 1/2'' and score at 5 1/4'' and fold.

 2 Attach the eyelet edge stencil to longer edge of card. (The over hanging edge).

 3 Cover the scalloped edge of the stencil with low tack tape, attaching to the card base.  Attach on all 4 sides and use palette knife/ spreader to apply the silver embossing paste.  Remove stencil and place in water for cleaning.

 4 Take the Vintage Lilac embossing powder and cover all of the paste design, remove excess poder and return this to the pot.

 5 Take heat gun and heat the embossing tinsel, as the paste is wet the heat will cause the paste to bubble and the embossing powder to melt giving a textured finish.  This is the Molten Magic technique but using embossing powder rather than mica powder.  Put the card base to one side.

 6 Take the background stencil (Spiral Dots) and use 2 small pieces of low tack tape and attach the stencil to the Black Iris Co-ordinations card stock, using the rubber embossing mat run through the Big Shot (machine of your choice).  The layering of the Big shot plates is as follows:- main base plate of Big Shot, co-ordinations card stock, Stencil, rubber embossing mat plus the 2 Big Shot cutting plates.  Wind through the Big Shot

 7 Once this has been done take the the sanding tool and distress the surface with a sanding tool.  The piece is then trimmed down so that the piece fits on to the front of the card.

 8 Take a piece piece of white card and stamp the dress on to it, use Momento ink pad and then using the colouring medium of your choice colour the image. ( I used the Deep Violet Chameleon pen).  To add some detail to the dress I used a quickie glue pen and did a number of tiny dots on the bodice and waistline of the dress and then put the Pastel glitter on the top.


10 I used the same pen to colour my pearls, before adding them to the top right and bottom left corner

 11 The final piece of decoration was a bow tied with 2 organza ribbons in lilac and lilac with white dots

 The card is relatively quick to make and isn't too much over the top.  I hope you like the card.

 Here is what the rest of the 'B' team have been doing :

Frilly Frou Frou week 2

Break out the frou frou! For the month of February, the Dream Team are going Frilly and Fabulous! Vintage, retro, or modern, adding extra charm with fun Fran•tagé products from Stampendous, ribbons and lace from May Arts, buttons, crystals, charms, or even creating your own dimensional decor! A snippet or a pile, whatever your creative heart desires! Remember to link your creations using the Inlinkz tool on the Dream It Up! blog for a chance to win the stencil of your choice! Bonus points for using Dreamweaver and/or Stampendous product in your work of heart.

A total change in themes this month.  I thought I wouldn't do a card but something that could be a small 'present' or thank you.  Dreamweaver Stencils and Stampendous products work so well together, here is my effort combining the two.


What you will need:-

 Dreamweaver stencil LJ899
Silver Embossing paste
Palette knife / spreader
Stampendous Stack Art - Kraftboard Angel wings
Stampendous Frantage encrusted purple jewel kit
Small piece of black lace
Low tack tape
Versa Mark ink pad
Lilac acrylic paint
Blending dauber
Distress ink pad - Dusty Concord
Paper flowers
Lilac ribbon
Paint brush
Heat Gun

and here is how to complete the card:-

1 Take the backing  panel from the Stack Art Kraftboard and the tag, remove the internal pieces from the tag and paint the two pieces with the lilac acrylic paint. Cover them completely.

2 Once painted put them to one side to dry.

3 When dry take the backing panel and attach the stencil to it with low tack tape.  Because the panel was small and there were lots of areas the would waste paste I taped the panel on all four sides on the top of the stencil and on the back of the panel. Apply the paste with the palette knife, remove the stencil and put in water ready for cleaning and put the panel to the side to dry.

4 Take the tag and randomly stamp small areas with the Versamark ink pad, scatter the Purple encrusted jewel products on to this.  Use the heat gun to heat the powders and get the textured surface.


.
5 When the paste has dried take the finger dauber and the Dusty Concorde ink pad and distress the edges of both the panel and tag

6 Cut one of the sayings from the sentiment sheet and go around the edge with the Dusty Concord ink pad blending into the centre so that the cream colour of the card is changed only slightly.

7 To ensure the ink was dry on the panel and tag I used a piece of kitchen paper and gently buffed them to remove any ink still wet.

8 The sentiment panel was attached to the back of the tag covering the aperture, and the tag was then fixed to the back panel with 3D foam squares.

9 I trimmed the wires from the flowers and placed them on to the panel in the bottom left hand corner, I stuck them with a strong wet glue but you could use a hot glue gun.

10 The final step is to tie 2 bows and attach them to the top of the backing panel and the tag

Thats it the project is complete.  Hope you like it.
