For the month of January, we challenge you to create something for Valentine's Day! So here is my first of two cards I did for the challenge for Dreamweaver. I had tried out for the Dreamweaver Design Team in November and I must admit how impress I was with Company even though I didn't make the team, both Pam Hornschu and Lynell Harlow took the time to send me encouraging email which I thoroughly made my day. I spent a lot of time trying out for different design teams and I can tell you not many companies will email you and give words of encouragement. Lynell even sent me a package of goodies to try (which I have done with this card) and a homemade card which had more encouragement to keep trying which I will always treasure. I wanted to Thank both Pam and Lynell for giving me a chance to try out to be a part of their team. My goal is to try and make as many challenges for Dreamweaver Stencils. So here is the first card, it is a center step card using Basic Black for the base. I used Bo Bunny collection called 'My Darling' for the pattern papers. Using Melon Mambo paper by Stampin'Up, I used the stencil LG 611 - stone wall, taped it down with removable tape in sequence so I can remember how to take the stencil off without ruining my design. Using my palette knife I spread glossy black embossing paste trying not to go back over the stencil. While the stencil was still down I sprinkled Cranberry Glitter Ritz by In the Making Enterprises here and there. I carefully removed the stencil and put it in water pan. I let my background dry overnight. I did the same technique using the stencil LM 241 - Happy Valentine's Day. For the stencil LL 425 Heart Bouquet, I used glossy red embossing paste instead on black paper and sprinkle the Cranberry glitter on the roses. I cut the Heart Bouquet out leaving a little halo. I cut out the Happy Valentine's Day using a Label 10 die by Spellbinders and then took Black Cherry Smooch ink to the embossed edge. I cut out hearts using Stampin'Up Embosslits 'Scalloped Heart of Hearts for the big hearts using pink and red metal sheets by Ten Second Studio and for the smaller hearts I used Stampin'Up Embosslits 'Fashionable Hearts' again using pink and red metal sheets.

What a colourful, cheery Valentine card. I must try a center step card soon. I was so pleased to hear how nice the Dreamweaver people are, Jackie. It is good to hear of a company that cares like that. I am happy to support businesses that go that extra mile or are encouraging to their fans. I have some Dreamweaver products but have not done anything with them. You've inspired me to try!
