I wanted to keep the card soft and monochromatic to mimic the symbolism of a dreamcatcher.

Die cut the dream catcher and butterfly from white cardstock. Cover all pieces with the Wink of Stella and allow to dry.

Prep the Dove Grey panel – Cut to 3 ¾” x 5 ¼”. Mix a little Distress Paint and water together on a craft mat or acrylic block. Use a small paint brush to apply splatters by holding the brush above the cardstock and tapping it lightly with your finger.  Allow to dry.  Add a few stamped “twinkles” using Little Bits in White ink.

Create sentiment – Rub vellum with powder tool to remove static.  Ink top half of sentiment with Versamark, stamp and heat emboss. Clean stamp. Rub vellum with powder tool again to remove static.  Ink bottom half of sentiment with Versamark, stamp and heat emboss. Hand cut into banner shape. Stitch to grey panel using sewing machine.

Assemble dreamcatcher using Multi Medium Matte.  Adhere to panel. Adhere butterfly to dreamcatcher and add rhinestones.

Adhere panel to card base.

  1. I was surprised when I read in the instructions to splatter distress paint, I had to take a closer look at the card… The effect is so subtle, I wouldn’t have guessed that was the technique used! It blends really nicely with the twinkles, and really doesn’t convey the concept of the word ‘splatter’ at all. More like ‘twinkling droplets’! Nicely done, very creative!

  2. The card from Dawn is so soft and peaceful…goes perfectly with the sentiment. Thanks for sharing a little bit about each company with your readers!

  3. DELIGHTFUL card Dawn – LOVE the white-on-white and DELICATE detail!!!
    THANK YOU for sharing your RECIPE FOR AWESOMENESS :)

  4. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful card! I’ve dabbled in monochromatic just a bit, but you can make some really pretty pieces!

  5. This card totally evokes a dream-like feeling! So beautiful!! (I just ordered my very first WPlus9 stamps, from SSS of course, and I’m super excited to get them!) Thanks for sharing your lovely card, Dawn, and thanks for sharing a bit more about the featured companies SSS! ^_^
