Here is my project for today:


MATERIALS:
Copic Markers Y13, RV14, R20, G19 and G29
My Colors Card Stock in Sky, Oceanside and Pink Delight
May Arts Ribbon
Manual Die Cut Machine

DIRECTIONS:
1)    Fold a piece of 8 ½” by 5 ½” paper so that the fold is on the side.
2)     Tape the Plumeria stencil face up on the Sky card stock. Use one large piece across the top of the stencil initially.  It will be a hinge later.  Tape all the way around.
3)    Remove the embossing paste from the container with the palette knife and place on the paste spreader.
4)    Place the paste spreader on the top of the stencil and pull down towards you, filling the holes and keeping contact with the stencil at all times.
5)    Replace any extra paste into the container.
6)    Remove the tape from the bottom and sides of the stencil.
7)    Using the taped top as a hinge, carefully remove the stencil.  Let the paste dry.
8)    While the paste dries, tap the entire back of the Cathedral Windows stencil with the Versamark Ink Pad.  Then put the stencil, inked side up, on the bottom plate of your manual die cut machine.  Place the pink card stock, face down, over the top of the stencil.
9)    Cover the card stock with the Stamping Details mat and then the upper cutting mat on top.
10)                      Run the project through the die cut machine.
11)                     Pour clear embossing powder over the top of the embossed card stock and shake off the excess.
12)                     Heat set the embossing powder.
13)                     Color over the dried glossy paste with Copic Markers.
14)                     Trim the flower image and adhere to the darker blue mat.
15)                     Trim the embossed Cathedral Windows card stock and adhere to a dark blue mat.
16)                     Adhere the background to the folded card.
17)                     Tie the May Arts Ribbon around the bottom of the flower unit.

18)                     Use the foam squares to raise the flowers above the rest of the project.

Simple Sunflowers

Today's card is a simple one.  That is right--a SIMPLE card.  I used only one stencil--LJ 902 Black Eyed Susan.   I also used the very versatile Matte Paste.  Did you know that it takes paste very well?  Here is how it was done:

 1)  Tape the Stencil LJ 902 Black Eyed Susan with Removable Tape over some slightly printed blue paper.  Make sure that you tape it all the way around.
2)  Use the LM 2010 Paste Spreader to pull Matte Yellow Embossing Paste over the stencil.
3)  Remove the stencil and let dry.
4)  Put glue over the top of the stems and leaves.
5)  Let glue dry until it is tacky.  Then, push green flocking over the top of the glue.  Let dry completely.
6)  Brush off flock.
7)  Place glue through the centers of the flowers and attach brown seed beads.
8)  Use a craft knife to cut on both sides of one of the flowers.
9)  Thread raffia through the flower, tie, and make a bow.

That is it!  Simple, indeed.  It even falls under this month's challenge--A Blooming Spring.  If you make anything that fits this challenge, photograph it and send it to Lynell@Dreamweaverstencils.com.  You could win this month's prize! Give it a try.
