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.
