Distressed Dreams

It's Dreamweaver Thursday and  I created this distressed Thank You card for this weeks Dreamweaver Stencil project.


To create this card I started by mixing some instant coffee with water in a spray bottle, lightly sprayed the  mixture on white cardstock., and allowed it to dry.



After it dried I taped the Pop Rectangles Stencil to the cardstock.


Then I stenciled the pattern with Regular Embossing Paste.
I removed the stencil.


While the paste was wet I heat embossed it with aged spice embossing enamel.


Then I added a Spoonfull of Rust to the panel and heated it from underneath to melt it.


Finally I assembled the card.

The sentiment is from the Happy Messages Perfectly Clear Stamp Set.
