Quietfire Design is partnering up with Dreamweaver for an Autumn/Fall themed hop and there is going to be a ton of creativity... And of course I went overboard again... this is the 3rd card for the hop.

I'm using one of the newest stamps from Quietfire Design "Home Congratulations" set

All the stencilled elements use the basic white paste.

I stencilled the vase (LM 196) on a separate piece of white cardstock, and then tapped it with my palette knife to create little craters. Removed the stencil and dumped it in my water bucket to clean later. Spritzed the wet paste with Distress Stains put in to mini misters ("Peacock Feathers" "Mustard Seed", "Salty Ocean", "Picked Raspberry". Set it aside to dry thoroughly.

I taped down my Cattails LL517 stencil and spread my paste, removed stencil and set it aside to dry completely. When dry, taped down my Tree Frog LM154 stencil and applied my white paste being very careful where it overlapped the cattail area so my paste wouldn't seep underneath. Set it aside to dry again. When dry, colored everything with Spectrum Noir Alcohol pens. Love the way the blend on the paste.

Hand cut out my vase and applied Glossy Accents all over, set aside to dry again.

Side folded my deep blue card. Sponged Distress Broken China around the edges of my pasted piece. Adhered to card front.

Edged my vase with a Krylon gold leafing pen, then adhered to card.

Stamped my quote with Versafine Black Onyx on white cardstock and clear embossed. Die cut with Spellbinders "Majestic Elements - Resplendent rectangles" using an off the edge cutting technique to get the size I wanted. Edged it with the gold leaf pen and then onto the card with 3d Foam tape.

The dragonfly was punched (EK Success Whale of a Punch "Dragonfly") on white cardstock. Pressed the wings onto a Distress Broken China pad and then embossed with Holographic embossing powder. Colored the body black with a marker.
