Still feeling festive? We hope so! Dreamweaver and Ranger still have two weeks left of our Festively Distressed collaboration, and we are full of distressing ideas...Tim Holtz' Distress Powder ideas, that is. Mixed with our fabulous line of stencil designs and exciting products, your creativity will know no bounds! If you missed the first two weeks, start HERE and HERE!
For our postings this week and next, we are offering you the opportunity to win one of two prize packages, perfectly coordinated for your holiday crafting. Simply leave a comment on each of our Dream Team's posts, and YOU could be one of two randomly selected winners!
The Dream Team have been challenged for the month of November to create something CAS (clean and simple) for the holidays. The extra challenge is mixing the Distress Powders in for the collaboration with Ranger. Think that it's possible? Well...let's see...
Here's what I came up with:
DIRECTIONS:
1) Soap the back of the stencil
2) Brush off the excess soap that accumulated around the openings
3) Remove one side of the Mounting Paper and attach to the soaped side of the stencil
4) Pinch some of the Mustard Seed powder into the center of the poinsettia and rub in with finger.
5) Continue filling in the image with the colored distress powders by putting the color on the stencil and pushing in with your finger. Start with the outermost colors.
6) Brush off the excess powders.
7) Place entire project stencil side down on a flat surface. Carefully remove the adhesive paper from the stencil.
8) Heat with Heat It Craft Tool until the Distress Powders melt a little. Let cool.
9) Cover entire project with Dry Stickles. Brush off excess.
10) Assemble card.
11) Dot Liquid Pearls into "seed" areas. Let dry.
Easy enough, right?
It is VERY clean and simple.
