In keeping with this month's Clean and Simple challenge, I've also gone back to basics with one of the easiest techniques using Translucent Embossing Paste. Here's what to do:
Position the Large Flourish stencil
(LJ896) on your card stock and add color in your choice of inks. While the inked image is drying, clean the stencil. When the ink is dry, reposition the stencil over the image, tape on all sides, and apply Translucent Embossing Paste
(DEPT). A palette knife will do just fine, but the embossing paste spreader
(LM2010) makes the job a lot easier. Follow the same steps with the Butterfly stencil
(LM121), cut it out, assemble and you're done!
For more ideas and inspiration, check out the Dream Team blogs listed below, starting with Dreamweaver's blog,
Dream it Up! And don't forget to link your project to Mr. Linky so we can all see it.
Now, there's no excuse for not playing along with us this month. There are beautiful stencils waiting to be awarded to the challenge winners. Let's see what you can do!
Happy crafting,

I really like your colors for your butterfly. Very spring like. Considering it is still VERY white here, the colors brighten my day. Good job.
