Lovin' the Clean and Simple Style

I have been looking forward to this month's challenge ever since it appeared on the Dream Team Calendar, as I love, love, love the clean and simple style.  That's not to say that I only do CAS, but it is my go-to style more often than not.  Here is one of the three cards that I will be demonstrating at Flax Art and Design in San Francisco on March 24.   If you live in San Francisco or on the Peninsula, check out their website at http://flaxart.com/2012/02/dreamweaver-embossing-stenciling-workshop.   Space is limited, so sign up soon!


Since this is their first stencil workshop, we'll start with the basics: paste embossing and coloring.  Begin by attaching the mushroom stencil (LL3025) to card stock with removable tape and apply Regular White Embossing paste (DEP).   Carefully remove the stencil and clean it; set the pasted image aside to dry.  Reposition the clean stencil on the image and color in whatever palette pleases you.  I know in reality that mushrooms aren't red, but haven't we all seen the ones with white polka dots?

This is a short post 'cause I'm finishing up more samples for next week's workshop, but check out the blogs of the very talented Dream Team and see what they've been working on.  That should give you plenty of ideas and inspiration for your own project.  Then, stop by the Dreamweaver blog, Dream it Up! and link your work with Mr. Linky.  Can't wait to see what you've done.
Happy crafting,
Liz
