CAS Mix Up August Emboss Resist

I can't stop playing with the CAS Mix Up Emboss Resist Challenge...I

I just had to try the Joseph's Coat EB Resist Technique.

Here are a couple of links to Joseph's Coat videos...

SCS photo technique and video and You Tube Video...SU Stampers Workshop.

My Joseph's Coat Emboss Resist card..

I love how our wonderful CAS Mix Up...Mixed Media Challenges make me inspired

to try new techniques!  So many gorgeous samples of Emboss Resist Techniques

by our fabulous DT and talented followers:-)

I used glossy paper?  A gift from a friend years ago:-)

Sponged the paper with Distress Oxide Inks in shades of yellow, red and green.

Dried with heat tool...Important Step!

Then added anti-static powder (Important too) and stamped SU Forever Fern image

using clear Versamark ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. 

 Then used a brayer to add Distress Black Soot ink until the image was

completely covered.

This was the Emboss Resist...just used a damp paper towel to wipe off the

black ink from the heat embossed multicolored leaf..Wow...so beautiful 

how the sponged DOX inks show up on the leaf image and

heat embossed shine!

Next die cut the image with Memory Box Rectangle Stitched Die.

Added the stamped and heat embossed "hello" from the same SU set and sequins.

Found a scrap of Basic Grey Designer Paper for the background and

popped up the image with craft foam. 

 Added to SU Basic White card base and Done!

I was very pleased with the results.

You still have until the end of the day on the 24th to play along.

So happy to see all the gorgeous cards for our CMU Emboss Resist Challenge.

 

Love and Hugs,

CAS Christmas Card Pine Challenge

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.

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.

Here is my Bird Hello card that I LOVE!!  Hope you do too:-)

Here is a photo of all the shine from the Gansai Tambi metallic Gem Watercolors:-)

It is like having 2 different watercolored cards:-)

I began by using Altenew "Bold Floral Drape" 3D EB Folder

to dry emboss the flowers on SU Basic White 100# CS.

I then trimmed the EB flowers and began using the retired SU 

Bird Builder Punch.  I punched out the branch, bird and wings 4 times and

stacked using Connect Glue.

Then the fun...using #2 paint brush to watercolor with the Gem Colors: 

Yellow Gold for center of flowers and top of bird head.

Green for branch,  Blue for breast and mixed Red, Yellow and Blue to

create a brown tone for the rest of the bird and wings.

Added eye with black marker.

Loved how my bird turned out.  A bit time consuming,  but well worth it!

Attached branch with Connect Glue. Then popped up bird with SU mini 

dimensionals and set aside.  Added SU Basic Black narrow frame.

Added bird and attached to SU Basic White 100# Card Base.

Added stamped Altenew "Label Love" Hello sentiment and glued onto image

and Done!  I was so pleased with my Thing with Wings card:-)

Taking the photos was the hardest part,  but I just had to share the shine:-)

You still have until the 24th to play along.
