CAS Mix Up February Felt, Cork or Canvas Challenge

Time for our CAS Mix Up February Challenge hosted by our DT member, 

Joanna  (Jo-Jo'sSpot).

Joanna always has the most creative and textured CAS mixed media cards!

Here is her Fun challenge!

Here is my card using Cork + Stamping + Die Cuts and EB Folder.

I started by dry embossing my SU hearts border (ret) onto the Gemund Woodland CS 

Card Front. Then added the cork trim from my stash to the bottom of the card front.

Next die cut Woodland CS card front using SU "Sunshine Wishes" heart die.  Used same die to die cut the Cork.

Next I used a scrap of white Woodland CS and sponged with Distress Inks: Festive Berries and Barn Door.  Then Die Cut with same heart die.

I attached card front to SU Thick Whisper White card base, so I could inlay 

the red die cut heart and inlay die cut cork heart.

Then die cut the LOVE from same die set and attached.

Stamped sentiment using my MISTI onto back of scrap of Woodland CS, 

so the colors would match, attached sentiment and Done!

My 1st Valentine for the holiday:-)  Fun using the cork that I have had forever!

Speaking of forever.. the punched heart was my very 1st Michael's purchase years ago!

CAS Be Merry EB Resist Watercolour Card

I CASE'd my CAS Watercolour Resist December Reminder Card

Here is my New Watercolour Resist Inlay Christmas Card!

I started by stamping my Penny Black "Adornment" wreath image with SU Whisper White pigment ink onto a square 4 1/8" piece of  Arches Mixed Media paper and heat embossing with SU White EB powder.  That was my Resist.

Next I sprinkled Color Burst powders: Alizarin Crimson and Pthalo Green and then spritzed with water...blotting with a paper towel until I got a lighter shade of background for my watercolouring.

After my background was dry I used Memory Box Stitched Circle dies to cut around the wreath and made a 2nd die cut, that was one size larger for the frame.

I cut a piece of SU W. White thick CS 4 1/8" x 4 1/8" for the card front and die cut with the smaller circle die.  Then cut another piece 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" for my tent fold card base.

The fun part was putting it all together..like a puzzle.  I popped up the card front with foam tape and attached to card base.  Attached die cut frame with my SU Fine Tip Glue Pen and added glue to my wreath image and inlaid inside the frame.

I added my stamped and popped up STAMPlorations "Oh, Christmas Tree" Be Merry sentiment and was done!  Enjoy and Merry Christmas my friends.  Hugs..

CAS Watercolour December Resist Challenge

CAS Watercolour December Reminder

My CAS Watercolour December Reminder...Watercolour Resist Card.

I had so much fun with this Watercolour Resist Technique.  I Heat Embossed my SU sentiment from "Wondrous Wreath" stamp set using Versamark and SU Cherry Cobbler EB powder.

Then the fun began with my ARTplorations "Holly Background Mini" Stencil.  I placed the mini stencil over a piece of Strathmore Mixed Media paper and sprinkled on Brushos: Leaf Green, Emerald Green and Brilliant Red and spritzed with water.   I loved the effect when I removed the stencil.  I let the piece air dry.

I die cut the image using Memory Box "Stitched Circles" Dies twice.  The smaller piece for the main inlaid image and the larger piece for the stitched frame. I added dimensionals to the framed layer.

I then attached the top layer to a piece of SU Red Glimmer paper using SU Fine Tip Glue Pen.  I discovered if I added a generous amount of the glue to the glimmer paper then attach top layer that the CS stuck really well.   I then added more glue to the glimmer paper and inlaid my main stenciled image.

My only embellishment was to add Candy Cane Stickles to the berries.  I Love how my card turned out.  It has a kind of Modern Vintage Look to me!  This was a simple card to make.  I plan on making another version of the same design soon :-)

You still have until December 24th to join the fun at our Clean and Simple Watercolour Challenge. Hope you get to join us...If you need last minute CAS Christmas, Thank You or Happy New Years Cards this is a fun and easy technique.

As always...Gorgeous and Creative Samples from the Design Team, our Guest Designer and the Challenge Gallery!  Happy Holidays my friends.  Hugs....

My card is for a couple more challenges...
