I placed the flower stencil on the cardstock and sponged on color from oil paint sticks. Then I covered the stencil with translucent embossing paste from Dreamweavers. When the paste dries, the color from the oil sticks shows through. While the paste was still wet I sprinkled a little glitter on the leaves and flower bloom. I also placed small brown seed beads on the flower.

Dreamweavers Stencils doesn't have its own website up and running, but if you go to www.stencilwithstyle.com you can purchase all of their products. This site has many samples to view and instructions on how to use the pastes with stencils. Its important to learn about the different properties of the translucent versus opaque pastes, and what types of ink work best with each. The prices on this site are very competitive with prices of Dreamweaver products I've seen in stamp stores. Shipping is only $4 for any size order.

I love the way your sunflower turned out! The colors, layout, papers and your use of the buttons and eyelets are all very nicely coordinated. Great card!
