Interview with Lynell Harlow

Sponsor of Die Cut Divas for August 2013 - Dreamweaver Stencils

An interview with the owner of Dreamweaver Stencils, Lynell Harlow is featured on Die Cut Divas today!

I'm featuring one question here.

What is one of your favourite products that you carry & why? I think the embossing pastes are wonderful for adding dimension on dark colored papers and the Metallic F/X mica powders complement the pastes.

  A list of Lynell's books and DVDs is included below.

If you ever have a chance to take a class with Lynell, don't hesitate.  You will be happy you did.  Lots of good information and products packed into her classes.  I believe she'll be in the U.K. in September.  

Here is my example of using paste from Lynell's line and reading Zentangle 6 featuring Lynell's stencils.  It's a Stentangle kind of thing.  I loved doing this card as a combo of using embossing paste and a flourish of zentangles.

Of course, I have a recycled item on my card - guess?  The gold panel is a left-over piece of Xmas wrapping paper!
