Woodware teammate, Deb Frost, has challenged us to be inspired by nature for this week. Love this challenge! The only difficulty is deciding which direction to go with it!Obviously, I chose the sea for my inspiration. I mixed a bit of Dreamweaver Regular Embossing paste in two small batches...one with a bit of an aqua tint, and one with a terracotta tint, created by mixing in a bit of acrylic paints to the paste to get the shades that I desired.
I used the aqua paste to emboss the Dreamweaver Mosaic Swirls stencil on kraft cardstock, and when I matted in in black, and adhered it to a kraft card.
I dabbed a fairly thick portion of the terracotta paste on a scrap of cardstock, and let it dry. Once dry, the paste has a bit of give to it. This allowed me to place the Dreamweaver Nautilus stencil over the top, and carve away some of the paste using the Woodware Multi-crafting Tool set. The end result looks a bit like a fossil, which being the good geologists' daughter that I am, made me quite happy. I cut around the piece and adhered it to the card as well.
Finally, I ink-stenciled the Dreamweaver Seahorse on a piece of sea glass, and embossed it with Stampendous Sand Embossing Powder, and adhered that as well as a sentiment tag and ribbon to finish off my bit of nature.

What a neat idea! I love this background too and your seahorse on a bit of seaglass. Wonderful! Thanks for sharing.

The colors of paste you made are very pretty together! Great card :)
Wow...Pam, the last two creations with the stencils are fabulous! How creative to use the paste that way! Loving seeing what you are doing....btw, my nephew had a similar car accident that you and Bryan were in and his car is totalled...sad! He fared better than you, his air bag deployed even though it was a rear end collision. Says he is a bit sore, but no ambulance ride for him.
This is so awesome!! Great colors too! TFS!
