Well, since it the last of May, today is the last day of the Dreamweaver May Challenge: Black and White with a Pop (of color). So I thought I'd go out with some bold color (and perhaps more than just a pop!)

| NEW STENCIL FOR 2012!!! Dreamweaver LL 3026 Nouveau wisteria |
This stencil is one of the brand new stencils JUST RELEASED by Dreamweaver, LL 3026 Nouveau Wisteria. To see all 17 of the new stencils, check out Dreamweaver's website.
One of my favorite things (thanks to Dee Gruenig) is to add color to white cardstock and transform it into whatever color I want it to be. (I read a quote by Dee once that said all we ever need is white cardstock and inks to color it).
Using my Ranger Ink Blending Tool (a stamper's must have), and Adirondack Red Pepper die ink, I sponged on the ink until I was satisfied with the saturation. Then I laid the stencil on top and embossed using Dreamweaver's glossy black paste.
Very simple, but very striking.
I hope you've had fun joining us this month of Black and White with a Pop. It has been a hectic month so I'm glad the theme allowed me to keep my cards clean and simple.
I also hope you all enjoyed the Sculpted Paste technique I did for Paper Craft Planet last week. Remember, you have a few more days to check it out and leave a comment to be eligible to win some free stencils.
And speaking of free stencils, CONGRATULATIONS TO BARBARA DIANE. Her comment:
Whimcees said...Thank you for the great tutorial! A few ears ago when the stencils were new and the "In" technique - I made cards with them all of the time! I especially loved stenciling with the paste - I took every class offered at a local store and owned hundreds of dollars in stencils! A couple of years ago I stopped making cards for awhile and gave most of my supplies and stamp sets and my stencils away. That was a mistake of course and on seeing your tutorial I could kick myself that my stencils are gone. I have kept one card which I have on my bulletin board by my workdesk and it is of LG 613 - the gold fish with border stencil. I would dearly love to win that stencil again and I intend to start to build another collection. I also love LL 586 - the butterflies are beautiful.I used a shaded orange on the fish and border against a dark blue paper - one of my favorite cards. Wishing you a happy Sunday and again, thank you for the tutorial - it reminded me of how much I loved this paper art technique and has inspired me to start again!
Hugs,
Barbara Diane
