It's Dreamweaver week this week -I just love that name don't you? I've created a card & co- ordinating bookmark this week using stencils, embossing paste & Mica powders & Memory Mists. I have used the same stencil for the main image in conjuction with the black embossing paste & Mica powders & again with Memory Mists for a softer muted effect on the bookmark. Secure the stencil to a piece of white card using masking tape & apply a layer of the embossing paste with the flat of a pallet  knife to cover the entire stencil then remove the excess. Carefully remove the stencil & leave the image to dry. Place the stencil over the image when dry & apply Mica powders. The birthday greeting was created in the same way. I have then layered the image onto black & white card & embellished with gold satin ribbon before layering onto purple card. I've made a gift pocket on the right hand side of the card to insert the bookmark. I have used  a piece of black card for the bookmark & spitzed over the stencil with Metallic Silver & Bright Gold Memory Memory Mists which as you can see produce some beautiful  vey different colour effects on the black card. Ribbons & dragonfly & butterfly Sparkers finish off the effect.

    This is lovely and the little sparklies that you have used really add to the subtle metallic F/X.
