CAS Mix Up Challenge: Oxidized Metal

CAS Mix Up Challenge: Oxidized Metal is a Fabulous Challenge

hosted by the very talented Susan.  The cards by the DT and Guest Designer, Arlene

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...
