CAS Mix Up Challenge: Oxidized Metal is a Fabulous Challenge
are Gorgeous and so Inspiring! Be sure and check them out.
My card using Oxidized Metal, Stamping, and Die Cutting!
I have been so inspired by all the Gorgeous Oxidized Metal samples by our sister
challenge: CAS Mix Up that I just had to try this awesome technique.
I used the 1st video tutorial on the list of videos on the CAS Mix Up challenge site
for my inspiration.
I used Tonic Mirror Card Stock: Emerald Green and Distress Ink refills: Peeled Paint and
Blueprints Sketch. I followed the video steps by covering the green Mirror CS with
water using my aqua brush. Then dropped the green and blue inks onto piece and
heated and moved around inks with heat tool.
Covered with clear EB powder and heated carefully by heating under
the cardstock and then on the top. When dry, rubbed with paper towel to remove
excess powder.
I had planned to use the piece to die cut with an AliExpress trees die, but the
die did not cut all the way thru so I ended up die cutting white trees, which I inlaid
into the tree depressions, which worked great!
I then die cut a frame using CUTplorations Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies.
Attached frame to image that I had popped up with foam to the card base.
Then stamped Penny Black "Holiday Snippets" sentiment onto card stock,
fussy cut and attached to background and Done!
I loved the results and so happy I had time to play in the challenge.
You have until the 24th to play along.
Thank you again, Susan for an awesome challenge! Hugs...

ReplyDeleteI had so much fun trying this new to me technique. I made a 2nd different colored background, but have not made into a card yet. I get so inspired by all your awesome CAS Mix Up Challenges:-) I will be trying this technique again. The video was SO Helpful:-) Thank you Bonnie for your comment and Susan for your awesome challenge:-) Hugs...Nancy
DeleteBeautiful background Nancy, I'm so impressed I just couln't get this one to work for me. Love Love love it :)
ReplyDeleteThe video I used really helped, Christine. Thank you for your comment. Hugs..Nancy
DeleteGorgeous colours and textures, Nancy! And great save by die cutting the trees in white and laying them over the depressions from the failed die cutting. I haven't yet tried this CMU challenge but hope to try it soon.
ReplyDeleteI just had a 5 hour playday yesterday with my sister and 2 friends and of all the Christmas cards I shared this was everyone's favorite:-) The shine and texture is so beautiful! TFS your sweet comment, Susan. So appreciated. Hugs..Nancy
DeleteAbsolutely GORGEOUS!! That background is so STRIKING Nancy and the white trees just totally pop against it! Beautiful, beautiful card!! :0)
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous Christmas card, Nancy! The emerald green mirror cs and the distress inks' colors are simply beautiful and the heat-embossed texture is so cool. The white die-cut trees pop against the shiny background. (You captured the shine in the picture!) Great job with recovering and inlaying the snowy scene perfectly in the background!
ReplyDeleteHugs.. Hideko
Thank you my friend. I was pleased with the background too:-) Happy Thanksgiving. Hugs...Nancy
DeleteYou did an outstanding job on this, Nancy! Love the results of your metallic background. I must try this. Thanks for the link to the video. That one looks SO fun and easy too. Holidays are upon us so no time for many cards now.
ReplyDeleteThis is really exquisite, Nancy! I can't get over how gorgeous that metallic shiny green is with the white trees! I love it!! Hugs, Dolly
ReplyDeleteGreat work with this technique Nancy! Love the colours of your oxidized metal background with the inlaid white trees. Beautiful card! xx

ReplyDeleteTotally awesome card Nancy I love every detail and you had great results with the Oxidized Metal. Thanks for joining us this month.
ReplyDeleteThank you Susan for hosting this awesome challenge and sharing links to the techniques. I will definitely be using again:-) Hugs..Nancy
DeleteOkay, this is awesome! Nancy, I just had to check... I have not received an email from you since Nov 15, so something is wonky. I have not received one of my own blog emails since Nov 20. Both are powered by Feedburner. Something must be wrong with Feedburner. Anyway, I'm glad I came over because it would be a shame to miss this!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you checked too:-) I have not been getting all of my friends email notices either...I really had fun with this technique. Happy Thanksgiving. Our power was off for 12 hours...2:30 pm to 2:30 am. Nice to have back on. Hugs..
DeleteI shall echo the other comments Nancy and just say absolutely amazing with the fabulous technique....You nailed it x.
