STAMPlorations Day 4 Extra Day Dee's Life is Sweeter

STAMPlorations Day 4 Extra Day Blog Hop.  I am  sharing a second card featuring Dee's Designs New Release "Life is Sweeter" stamp set😊

I am loving Dee's new set.

                                   Life is Sweeter,  when shared with friends.

L

I die cut Strathmore Mixed Media paper with CUTplorations Stitched Tags Nesting Dies.  Then the fun began...Using MISTI I stamped the apple with Versamark and heat embossed with Ranger Distress Embossing Glaze mixing Fossilized Amber and Cracked Pistachio embossing powder for a pretty apple green shade.

Stamped the leaves and sentiment with Archival Jet Black ink.  Then stamped the sweet tiny blossoms with Versamark and heat embossed with Fossilized Amber EB Glaze.  I used a .04mm art pen to trace the stitching on both tags.

Attached both tags together with ribbon and twine and added mini dimensionals behind the small tag and craft white foam behind the larger tag to make the tags pop. Attached to SU Whisper White 100# card base and Done!

 A very different style from my Day 2 card that shows the versatility of this new Life is Sweeter set by our very talented STAMPlorations Dee's Artsy Impressions Designer.  We would love to have you comment on all our STAMPGirls New Release projects.

CAS Mix Up May Gesso Resist

I was excited to see that CAS Mix Up's May Challenge is Gesso Resist!

My Gesso has been neglected.
I used Gesso Resist, Stamping and Die Cutting.

Linda is hosting the Challenge and shared with us an inspiring list of 

Gesso Resist video techniques.

I loved Susan's DT launch card and used her credit card Gesso Resist technique.

Check out her Cat's Ink.Corporated blog for more details.

I am adding my CAS Christmas Tag Cards also to the

CAS Christmas Card May Challenge: Winter Berries. Hosted by Loll.

I was inspired by Loll's gorgeous card to use my Strathmore Tan Mixed Media paper!

Here are my cards...Enjoy!

I die cut 2 Strathmore Tan Mixed Media paper tags using CUTplorations

"Stitched Tags Nesting Dies". 

Then used a palette knife to scoop out a bit of Gesso onto my glass mat and

used an old gift card to dip the narrow edge into the Gesso and

make swipes going different directions onto both tags.  Let dry.

Sponged Distress Oxide Inks: Candied Apple and Lucky Clover onto tags and sponged

Vintage Photo onto edge of tags.

Die cut Never Before Used SSS "Christmas Foliage Dies" and attached to tags with 

Fine Tip Glue Pen. 

Colored Winter berries with Zig pen. 

Added SU "Merriest Wishes" sentiments and ribbon to both tags.

Popped up tags with white craft foam and attached to SU Whisper White 100#

cardbase and Done!

I loved the Gesso Resist Technique and how the Tan MM gave more muted colors.

Sharing larger photos of each card so you can see the Gesso better...Enjoy!

You have until the 24th to play along in the challenges.

Stay safe and Creative my friends.  Hugs..
