Hello blog friends,
I hope you are all well and have had a good week - mine has been a bit 'messy' and not in the nice, crafty sense! Wednesdays and Fridays are my non working days and the days where I get my commissions made, work on designs and at the moment, finish making the family and best friends cards...but this Wednesday I took a day out, the bus to the shopping Mall and met a friend for coffee. We do similar jobs for different charities and don't get time to meet, compare notes about work and have a general chat - and this was our only chance before Christmas. So I got nothing done Wednesday except some Christmas shopping (nearly finished) and it was a really long day, so I was tired.
Thursday I had to attend an event out of the office: because I work so few hours having to take time away from my desk is a real nuisance, but heigh ho, I'm here to talk craft not work! Suffice to say, have been feeling really tired this week...
But I did get the final piece of the promised Dreamweaver tutorial photographed, so here 'tis...
 |
| I started off with the Indigo Blu Flitter Glu, Winter Dawn Mega Flakes,Scoochie sponge, phat foam and a bowl of warm soapy water |
 |
| Using removable tape, secure the stencil and card to your mat |
 |
| Using a palette knife coat the phat foam with the Flitter Glu |
 |
| Dab the flitter glu all over, you need to move fairly quickly, 'kissing' the stencil but at the same time making sure you coat every bit - especially hard with this intricate stencil! |
 |
| sprinkle the flakes all over |
 |
| smooth the flakes with the palm of your hand to get rid of the excess , but don't waste any, tip it back in your container |
 |
| Using the scoochie rub all over the image |
 |
| You can rub quite deeply, it will bring up the shine |
Here is the card I made with the resulting image from this tutorial...thanks for stopping by!
