Woodware: Sparkle and Texture and Fun...Oh My!

A texture challenge, eh? I've picked up the gauntlet, and run with it for this card! Woodware carries so many wonderful products for adding texture and dimension to your craft products, that I've only begun to scratch the surface...

Using the basis of the Double Glitter technique, I've soaped up my Rolling Hills stencil on the back, and placed it on a panel of Dreamweaver Double-sided Mounting Paper which has been placed on a panel of white cardstock. Inside the "hills" I've added Stampendous Multi Crystal Glitter, Mica Chips, Silver Micro Glitter, and some Woodware Tiny Holeless Beads in blues and greens. Once I removed this panel from the stencil, I filled in the lines that were left with Silver Micro Glitter.

For the tree, I placed a panel of the Mounting Paper on another panel of white cardstock, and ran this through my die-cutting machine with the Leafless Tree Die. I removed the backing from the sticky paper, and covered the paper in Stampendous Mixed Silver Halo Glitter. I die cut a Stampendous snowflake as well, and in the same manner, covered it with the same mix.

Lots of sparkle. Lots of texture. Lots of fun!

Here's what I've created for today:

Yes, it's another banner today! Following pretty much the same process as the one that I posted on Monday...

The pre-gessoed side of the half sheet of canvas pad was watermark inked through the Dreamweaver Spiral Dots stencil randomly over the surface before being embossed with Stampendous White Embossing Powder. This melted EP acts as a resist against the Clearsnap Mixed Media inks (Vintage, Leather, Barn Door) that were swiped over the surface. Using a palette knife, some Dreamweaver Matte Black Embossing Paste was spread over one section and set aside to dry.

Meanwhile, a strip of Mark Richard's Linen Fabric pad was frayed around the edges, and stamped with the Leather ink and the Stampendous Cling Life is Art image, along with some random distressing.

Once the paste was dry, I swiped a bit of talcum powder over the canvas as an anti-static medium for the next step. I paste-embossed the Dreamweaver Feather stencil in Copper Embossing Paste, and sprinkled liberally with Aged Black and Aged Copper Embossing Enamel. This was heated until bubbly and textured, with lots of shimmer! Now the linen strip could be adhered, along with a couple of bits of Ribbon Tape from Woodware. A wooden dowel and been prepped with black paint, and was attached by wrapping strips of the Ribbon Tape over it and attaching it to the canvas. A bit more of the Aged Black and Copper were sprinkled over the canvas, and heated from underneath for more texture.
