CAS Stencil Challenge Reminder Card: Heat Embossing

Already time for our CAS Stencil Reminder cards!
Be sure and check out the awesome cards by our talented DT and Guest Designer, Cat!
Viv is hosting the creative challenge this month:-)



Had fun using new to me Shadow Black Watercolors!

I was so inspired when I saw my friend and fellow CAS Designer, 
Christine's (It's a card days night) Gorgeous card using Boku-Undo Shadow Black
Watercolors from Japan.  I now have the set of 6 colors:-)  
Be sure to Click on the link to Christine's Gorgeous card!

I used the Reddish Black on my Magenta "Large Daisy" and the 
Greenish Black on my TCW "Jungle Vines Stencil" leaves, which I heat embossed
using Versamarker watermark pen and SU Clear EB powder.

I used a #2 paint brush and palette for my painting and kept my watercolors diluted.

I Stamped my flower 1st using my MISTI and Archival Black ink.
Then painted with the reddish black watercolor and fussy cut.

Next stenciled the leaves with the greenish black watercolor and removed stencil.
Then luckily found my Versamarker pen to add to the leaves and heat embossed.

Popped up flower with dimensionals and added to leaves.
I used Strathmore Mixed Media paper for my card base and card front.
Added the STAMPlorations Clear Sticker "Shine Bright" and Done!

Thank you again Christine for always inspiring me with your amazing 
mixed media projects!!!!

You still have until the 24th to play along.  Hugs...

  10. Love this and love the muted colors of that paint! You will have us all scampering to get some. They are fabulous and so different. Your watercolor is superb. I swore you cut that daisy out twice since it has so much dimension to it. Well done, Nancy.

  20. LOVE that flower, Nancy. It is a wonderful image, your colors are unique, and it looks fab against your leaves. So well done.

    Staying home has inspired me to buy several new water colors (venturing out of my $6 set - lol). I can't wait to play with them. Thanks for the inspiration you and Christine give me! Hugz
