If you are here for my Woodware post, please scroll down, but nothing says that you can't have a bit of fun along the way...
Ready
for fresh air, sunshine, new leaves, and flowers blooming? Well, the
Dream Team is right there with you! Our challenge for the month of March
is...coincidentally...Marching into Spring. Per usual, we'd love to
have you play along with us, and link your own creations to the
Inlinkz tool on the
Dream It Up! blog, or at the bottom of this post. Play as many times as you'd like. Those of you who work
Dreamweaver and/or
Stampendous
products into your projects receive bonus points, but everyone has an
opportunity to be the winner who receives the stencil of their choice.
Here's my hint of Spring:
I thought I'd play with a "messy" watercolor look for today's post. In the past, when I've tried to watercolor through the stencils, the color runs underneath, and frustrated me. Then it dawned on me...why not go with that look, but outline the stencil afterwards. I kind of like the end result. I even added a bit of doodling/tangling over the design. The base was a piece of canvas-textured
Core'dinations' cardstock in a natural color. The
Stampendous Cling Music Score was stamped in black
StazOn (to prevent bleeding when wet), and a bit of
DecoArt® Media Acrylic in Titan Buff was lightly brushed over the background. The
Dreamweaver Stylized Dahlia was taped over the panel, and watercolored, and set aside to dry. When dry, the clean stencil was replaced, and I used a
Copic Multi-liner in .03 to trace the design and add some tangles. The card base was a gorgeous shade of cobalt Vintage Cardstock from
Core'dinations which I'd run through my Big shot with the
Dreamweaver Chevrons stencil, and sanded to reveal the design. A simple panel of green with a stamped sentiment from the
Stampendous Perfectly Clear Friendly Phrases set, and a luscious bow from
May Arts, and I'm loving the result! How about you?
The "A" team would love to share their interpretations of this theme:
