SWAK *New DCWV Goodies!


 Check out these new goodies from DCWV! Starting with the new Honey Chic stack with all the fantastic prints and colors. It's got a bit of the sparkly glossy accents that we all love too. Then I pulled out the 6x6" Corrugate Naturals Stack because its got a couple of greys that would work well with these papers. Next I knew I had to use the super cool NEW DCWV Templates (stencils), specifically the one with doilies on it. And then lastly, some pearl Gem Stickers

My photo is too funny. My sister asked me to take a photo of her kissing this little monkey topiary at the flower market, so I knew it would be a layout when I was taking the photo. I decided to pull out another stack when I started my page - I used the DCWV Woven paper stack for the white background because I love the texture.


The little labels are cut from one of the papers in the Honey Chic Stack, and so are the flowers.


I placed the stencil on the background, then applied a thick coating of gesso over the stencil and scraped it off flat with a putty knife before carefully removing the stencil and allowing it to dry. Since I was not patient enough to let it dry outside, I used a heat tool and slightly warped the page, but stitching it to the patterned paper helped.  Plan ahead and allow for drying time and you will have a flatter layout.


The tag is just a piece of the corrugated cardboard paper that I used a corner rounder punch on and then sanded a bit to make it look less smooth.
