Graphic 45, Burlap and Grapes Card

This week, Stampendous is featuring gorgeous Graphic 45 papers. I just love their patterns. My card also features the added textures of cork, burlap, and twine.

Here's how it was done:

MATERIALS:

DWLL568 Dreamweaver Grapes Stencil

Glossy White Embossing Paste

Dreamweaver Palette Knife

Paste Spreader

Removable Tape

Graphic 45 Rare Oddities Collection Brews and Potions Paper

Spectrum Markers EB8, DG3, CG2, FL5, LV1, PL4, LV2, LV3 and JG6

Creative Impressions Brads

My Colors Card Stock in Evergreen and Deep Purple

Green Burlap

Cork Paper

Twine

Zip Dry

Fabri-Tac

Big Bite Tool

INSTRUCTIONS:

The card base is 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" folded in half for a 5 1/2" by 4 1/4" card.

1) Tape the stencil, right side up, over the cork paper. Be sure to use a single large piece all the way across the top to use as a hinge when removing the stencil.

2) Remove some paste from the container with the palette knife and place on the bottom front of the paste spreader.

3) Place the bottom of the spreader on the top of the stencil, with the paste facing you.

4) Pull the paste covered spreader down over the stencil, maintaining contact with the stencil and filling in the wells with the paste as you go.

5) Place the excess paste back in the container.

6) Carefully remove the tape from the sides and bottom of the stencil.

7) Using the top tape as a hinge, carefully remove the stencil and let the paste dry.

8) When the paste is completely dry, use the Spectrum Markers to color directly on the white paste.

9) Use the Fabri-Tac to adhere the burlap to the patterned paper and the purple card stock to the burlap and let dry.

10) Use the Zip Dry to adhere the cork paper to the card stock.

11) Use the Big Bite to punch holes for the brads through all the layers.

12) Place brads into the holes.

13) Wrap and tie twine around the bottom.
