Dreamweaver Christmas

Dreamweaver stencils and Paste are great fun.Here we have used Translucent paste and Gold ultra fine glitter to add sparkle to our Christmas Cards.

Tape the stencil along the top and bottom onto a piece of cardstock using low tack tape.Using a spatula apply the paste evenly across the stencil making sure that the stencil is evenly filled.Sprinkle with ultra fine glitter. Peel away the tape from the stencil and lift away carefully.Leave to dry and then trim to size.

The background of the above card has been embossed,with punched borders layered under the topper.

This is a Tall Card ,but used landscape.The white background layer has been punch in the corners and threaded with Gold Cord.
The topper has been made in the same way as the one above,but has been mounted onto Glitter Card for extra sparkle.
