On to this week's project. I was inspired by those Dry Stickles and decided to create another project with them. This one is almost a reverse of the last one, starting, as it were with the embossing powder. Let me show you.....
MATERIALS:
Dreamweaver Stencil LG 701 Carp
Dreamweaver Stencil LJ 838 Waves
Dreamweaver Gold Embossing Paste
Palette Knife
Removable Tape
Double Stick Mounting Paper
Handmade Hawaiian Soap
Large Stencil Brush
Ranger Clear Embossing Powder
Ranger Dry Stickles in Cinnamon
Ranger Dry Stickles in Gold
Ranger Dry Stickles in True Blue
Craft Sheet
Heat Gun
Scissors
White Card Stock
Blue Card Stock
May Arts Ribbon
DIRECTIONS:
1) Use the removable tape to place the carp stencil over the white card stock. Tape it all the way around the stencil and directly onto your craft sheet.
2) Use the palette knife to spread the gold embossing powder all the way down the stencil.
3) Remove the stencil carefully, using the tape one one side as a hinge.
4) Sprinkle the Cinnamon and the Gold Dry Stickles onto the embossing paste while it is still wet. Then, let it dry completely.
5) While the fish are drying, rub the soap on the back of the wave stencil.
6) Use the stencil brush to remove any "soap crumbles" that have accumulated against the stencil.
7) Remove one side of the protective paper on the Double Stick Mounting Paper.
8) Place the stencil SOAP SIDE DOWN on the exposed adhesive.
9) Pour clear embossing powder over the stencil and rub in with your finger.
10) Lightly tap the embossing powder off of the stencil.
11) Flip the project upside down and carefully remove the paper from the stencil. Keep the stencil flat on a smooth, hard surface while you do this.
12) Use the heat gun to melt the powder.
13) Pour the True Blue Stickles over the project.
14) Rub in with your finger.
15) Brush off the excess powders, revealing the white embossed areas beneath it.
16) Trim around the now dry fish and assemble the card.
