Day 10 of 31: A 2-fer with Rick St. Dennis and Dreamweaver Stencils

Greetings, my ghoulish friends! I have 2 projects for you to check out, for two fantastic DT's. The first is Rick St. Dennis, and the other is Dreamweaver Stencils.

This is BeWitching. Ain't she though? I had a great time coloring her. I love her cape, and her ruffles. And hey! I got lucky and my purples don't look un-purple today! ;)

Again, I broke out the Spectrum Noirs to color her up. My sentiment is from Tiddly Inks, and the punch I used is from EK Success. I think this witch is rad.

I am sharing this card also on the Airless Chambers Blog today.

Now, on to my Dreamweaver Stencils project. You may recall from last week that the challenge for the month is "Mysterious and Magical." I hope you like my latest offering for this challenge.

I started off with the awesome Stone Wall stencil. I embossed it, rather roughly, with white embossing paste. I then buffed on a few shades of Distress Ink. I used Peeled Paint to make it look a bit mossy. Then, I embossed the Crows with Black Embossing Paste. The pastes I used are both from Dreamweaver. After they dried, I cut them out.

Check out the fabulous texture you can create with the paste! I know my foam dots are visible...I wanted you to see the dimension. And I a ran out of black foam dots! For my background, I tore a few pieces of various browns. I used a Martha Stewart Tombstone punch and coordinating stamp, and my bat fence is also from Martha Stewart. The "Nevermore" is from one of my favorite Smeared Ink sets, Quoth the Raven.

So what do you think? I certainly had a great time making both of these pieces. Below is the link list for the "B" Team for Dreamweavers Stencils. Swing by and sat hello! Please be sure to visit the rest of the Wicked Bloggers, listed in my side bar. Thanks for stopping by. Have a creep-tastic day!

A congress of crows! I wonder what they are discussing.
The mossy look turned out wonderfully. I doubt it could be done better.

And your purples are purplishious!

Alison, both of your offerings are amazing. I definitely love how you colored that rad witch. The crows look like they are planning something sinister. One question...what is embossing paste? I have never heard of it.
Sharon Sahl said…
Two gorgeous projects! Since I'll see the witch again, I'll just comment on the amazing crow creation! That wall is fabulous and putting the fence in front of it inspired! And the strips of paper to create a background - you rock!!

Christmas in July with Imagine Crafts & Stencil Girl!

Hello! Have you heard? The Imagine AIRs have been hopping with Stencil Girl! If you have been here before, you know I loooove me some stencils, so this collaboration was very exciting for me! The teams are hopping for 3 consecutive Saturdays, and this is week 2. I have the entire list of hop links at the bottom of the post. Be sure you don't miss anyone! I decided to to create an extra large gift tag with my new stencils. Using red cardstock, I taped down the Journal Texture #8 Stencil  and inked it up with Golden Glitz Delicata ink . I promise you, this is the BEST gold ink you will ever use! The Journal stamp only has 2 diamonds on it (it's a 4x4" stencil), so after I inked up the first pair, I moved over the stencil, lined it up, and inked again. Next I wanted to do something textural with the Urban Insiders Star . So I took some evergreen cardstock, taped down the star, and slathered on some yummy Iridescent Green Creative Medium . After the medium dried, I ga

Remembering Aletha

Greetings, Friends. This post today is part of a very special blog hop. We are celebrating the life of an amazingly talented artist and friend. The crafting community lost Aletha Jane Williams on May 5, 2019. Those of us that worked with her on Design Teams or on Challenge Blogs all agree that she was one of the sweetest and most talented women we knew. We are not here to mourn her loss though. This hop is happening in conjunction with a very special celebration of her life and her art that her husband Bob is holding in her home city of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Please join us in honoring our incredibly creative friend Aletha . My card features the "Remembering Aletha" Sprite, which Mitzi (owner and artist of Aurora Wings ) created specifically for this hop. She is generously giving the digi away to all, over on her blog. This sweet Sprite looks so much like Aletha, and I know she would have been honored. If you download this digi for yourself, please be sure to give a huge "
