Copper DREAMweaver Inspiration


Dream It Up! Thursday is here and the inspiration for my project today came full circle. The Dreamweaver Team, and myself are sharing what inspires them when they create. We would love for you to join along and link your projects (and inspiration) to the inlinkz tool on the Dream It Up! blog


I get inspired by the product almost always and today project was inspired by Dreamweaver Stencils Metallic Copper Embossing Paste. In all comical sense I thought I'd better try and make a little more effort for my inspiration so I went to Pinterest and found this image in a few places.

And so we end the inspiration circle with my project today.

See Supplies Details at the bottom of this post for links to Dreamweaver Products.
Here's how I made it.
I started on some kraft paper and embossed the Pop Rectangles with Matte Black Embossing Paste and set it aside to dry. I embossed the sentiment with Small Thanks and Metallic Copper Embossing Paste.

As soon as the Black Matte Embossing Paste was dry I went over it with the Metallic Copper Paste using the dried paste as my stencil edge. For a completed look and to cover any metallic paste I went back over the Black Matte with a second layer.

That's it and it was pretty simple to put together. As I mentioned before, my inspiration went full circle. As I was adding the product image to this post I couldn't help but notice that the label also has resemblance to my finished card. I guess we'll never really know where the inspiration came from, right?

Now it's time to follow the list of links below for some more inspiration. Have fun!

    Janelle, I love the copper paste and I love how you used it here to create the background. Plus double pasting the black paste was brilliant. Great card!

    What a unique card. I have not come across this product, I can definitely see me using this paste to create a rich effect, especially in mixed media creations.

Let's Celebrate Plain Jane Style!

There is an Anni-Verve-Sary party going on today! Verve Stamp Company is 2 years old! The hop started at Verve's blog , so come hop on board and see over 5 dozen projects that are sure to get your Verve on! I've been waiting for the right time to blog about this project and when the opportunity came to join in the anniversary blog hop for Verve I knew it was time. My blog hop project today uses all Plain Jane Bible verses from Verve. I saw this project at Susan Roberts gallery on Splitcoaststampers and went to her blog to get the details . I decided to make one for my mother as a Christmas present...in 2008. Yep, I just now finished it and I have the blog hop to thank. Using sketches would have made this a whole lot faster. LOL The two cards shown in the picture above use the latest Plain Jane release for Psalm 121:1-2 (hanging on box) and Hebrews 11:1 (in front of box). And I'll give the details below, but first here's a slide show of the whole year. Hebr...
