CAS Mix Up August Challenge

I have been so inspired by the Paper Towel technique cards this month hosted by Loll!

All the DT, GD and Gallery samples are Gorgeous!

Be sure to check them out Here and Loll's Video.

I am also playing in the CAS Watercolour Challenge: Colorful Butterflies

hosted my Marcia!  More gorgeous cards by the DT and GD.

Using Paper Towel + Stamping + Die Cuts + Heat Embossing

I found this beautiful paper towel in my stash that I had used to mop up 

                    Distress Oxide Inks: Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, Tumbled Glass 

and Mermaid Lagoon.

Then I remembered this beautiful sparkly die cut Memory Box butterfly

that I had in my stash that had the same alcohol ink color tones:-)

Die cut the card front with the largest rectangle SSS Postage Stamp Edge Frame 

and then die cut the smallest frame, which is square.

Attached the paper towel over the die cut square using Connect Glue and die cut again.

It worked perfectly then inlaid the square and attached with scotch tape on back.

Placed card front in MISTI and stamped and heat embossed STAMPlorations Bloom

Happy sentiment and added blue and green rhinestones from my stash.

Next popped up card front onto card base with white craft foam.

Added colorful sparkly butterfly with dimensionals.

The butterfly solid wings was die cut out of a glittery Alcohol Ink Acetate background.

Next added a new STAMPlorations Clear Sticker:Hey Sunshine sentiment 

and Done! I loved the results and how quickly my card went together.

You still have until the 24th to play along with this awesome challenge!  Hugs.

STAMPlorations CAS Card Challenge optional Color Twist: Rainbow

Time for the November STAMPlorations CAS Card Challenge

with the optional Color Twist: Rainbow.

Here is my Alcohol Ink Rainbow CAS Card!

CUTplorations Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies

STAMPlorations Bloom Happy Sentiment.

I think this is the 1st time I have used all 3 of the Nesting Dies on one card.

I love the results.  The main image is popped up on fun foam.

I used my Tim Holtz Glass Mat to create my  T.H. Alcohol Ink main image.

I swiped each color of ink onto Yupo paper and then used a paint brush

dipped in 91% rubbing alcohol to move the ink around.

I used orange, red, yellow, green, blue and purple inks for my rainbow background.

I LOVED the results.  I have to admit,  this was my 3rd try, 

but I will save my other 2 backgrounds for my stash.

When dry I burnished with a paper towel and then placed in MISTI to stamp

my Bloom Happy sentiment.

I do hope you will join us at STAMPlorations CAS Card Challenge.

You have until the end of the month to play along.  Hugs...

CAS Mix Up Ink Stamps with Markers Reminder

Oh My,  already it is time for our CAS Mix Up Reminder "Ink Stamps with Markers" Challenge

 hosted by Bonnie!

Be sure and check out all the gorgeous cards by our DT and

awesome GD, Chrissie (Simply One of a Kind).

Also wonderful videos showing different stamping techniques.

My card Using Zigs Markers, Stamping with MISTI, Die Cutting and masking.

I used a NBUS Stamplorations stamp Bloom Happy,  which

is wonderful for a Fall card. The image and sentiment are from the 

stamp set.  I masked the sending to keep the sentiment more centered.

I placed my main image in MISTI and then colored stamp with my Zig

Markers.  Restamping with 4 different marker colors moving

the ink around with my water brush.

Next die cut the image with my MB Stitched Die leaving enough

space for my sentiment.  Next die cut a scrap of SU

Pumpkin Pie CS for more framing and color.

Stamped sentiment, attached to main image.  Popped up image 

with dimensionals onto Pumpkin Pie layer.

Attached to card base, added Wink of Stella to flower and Done!

I like the Fall CAS look of this card.

You still have until the 24th to play along with our CAS Mix Up 

September Challenge.   

Hugs...
