Hi All, it’s Shellie here with this weeks Christmas Tuesday Tutorial! I LOVE GLITTER, especially on Christmas cards, so today I am going to show you how to used your Dreamweavers Stencils to create fun glittery images!
Products You Will Need: Spellbinders Nestabilities Dies, Dreamweavers Stencils, Scor-Tape Adhesive Sheets, Glitter, A bar of soap, Scotch Removable Tape
Using a piece of Scotch Removable Tape attach your Deckled Rectangle die to your Scor-Tape Adhesive sheet, make sure you place he die in the corner so you don’t waste any of your adhesive. Cut out using your Big Shot machine.
Rub your bar of soap all over one side of your Dreamweaver Stencil. This will act as a release agent so your stencil does not stick to your tape.
Peel off the backing of your Scor-Tape Adhesive Sheet and stick down your Dreamweaver stencil.
Mask off any part of your stencil that you do not want to get covered in Mahogany Glitter (I only wanted the base of the tree glittered with Mahogany) I used a piece of scrap cardstock and some Scotch Removable Tape to cover up my stencil.
Dump on Mahogany Glitter and rub onto tape with your finger
Your glittered stencil will look like this.
Remove your mask and move it to the top of the tree covering up all but the top circle.
Dump on Gold glitter and rub in with your finger
Remove your mask to expose the remaining adhesive and dump on Green Glitter, don’t forget to rub it in with your finger
Peel off the backing of your Scor-Tape Adhesive Sheet and stick your project onto a piece of patterned paper.
Remove the Dreamweavers stencil to expose the rest of the adhesive sheet
Dump on Transparent glitter and rub in with your finger
Your art work should now look like this.
To finish my card I layered Basic Grey Wassail papers onto Core’Dinations cardstock and attached my art work using 3D Dots, I cut out a few presents from another piece of Basic Grey Wassail paper and attached them in from of my art work using 3D dots.
I would LOVE to see what you come up with using this technique, upload your projects to our Members Christmas Gallery and be entered in our Draw for this weeks Blog Candy!!
