I am playing in the CAS Christmas Card Challenge: Pine hosted by the
very talented Trina. Be sure and check out the Design Team's beautiful
and creative Pine CAS Christmas Cards.
This is such a fun and creative way to add Christmas Cards to your Stash!
Here is my Pinecone Christmas Card.
%20(1).png)
I used my MISTI to stamp the SSS "Pinecone Background" stamp using Versamagic White
Pigment ink and heat embossed with SU Clear EB Powder on
Fluid 100 Hot Press 140# 100% Cotton Watercolor Paper.
Next I used make up brushes to add Distress Oxide Inks:
Vintage Photo, Gathered Twigs, Walnut Stain, Rustic Wilderness and
Lucky Clover.
Then wiped off inks from the heat embossed images for the Embossed
Resist technique. I will be adding this card to our CAS Mix Up
August Challenge: Emboss Resist!!
The Emboss Resist leaves a beautiful shiny Pinecone image!
Then trimmed the main image and added a thin heat embossed border using
Versamark and Ranger Distress Embossing Glaze Vintage Photo.
Next heat embossed the border for the card front using the same technique
and attached to SU Basic White 100# Card Base.
Stamped the Penny Black "Holiday Snippets" Believe sentiment onto main image.
Then popped up the main image onto card front with craft foam
and Done!
It was fun adding the heat embossed edges, which was a new technique for me!
I saw a stamper do this, but I do not remember who...darn.
Enjoy and hope you get to join in the Christmas Challenge too.
Love and Hugs..

ReplyDeleteBeautifully done, Nancy and so creative. I love the soft, dreamy effect of this. I also love the unique frame. Fantastic card!
ReplyDeleteLove the pinecones and branches, Nancy! And the borders are awesome! Hopefully I can remember that technique!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a photograph, Nancy, with the camera pointing right up into the middle of a gorgeous evergreen! And I can just imagine the wonderful shine in person! I also love the embossed border and always forget about doing that. Thank you for the reminder and for inspiring everyone at NBUS! (I hope you aren't getting too much smoke where you are.😮💨) Hugs, Darnell

ReplyDeleteGorgeous pinecone image, Nancy! The shiny emboss-resist looks so beautiful. Coloring with 3 shades of brown and 2 shades of green gives the image so much depth!
