CAS Mix Up Reminder February 2021 - Stencil Heat Embossing - Black and Gold

 Hi Friends,

This is my Reminder card to let you know that you have until the 24th February to join us for this month's CAS Mix Up Challenge.  

I used the Floral Layering Stencil from Tim Holtz, stamping the Versamark twice after each layer of Gold embossing powder was applied and set which gave a beautiful smooth finish.  I did have to do a bit of work to remove stray and bits of powder that weren't in the right place with a pointed cutting tool and rubber.  I also stamped the sentiment and Gold embossed and then cut the pieces of card with metal dies from Mamma Elephant.  I repeated these steps for the inside and finished the front with some Metallic Gold Pearls.

How I prepared my stencil before stamping so I could only use the parts I required.

Thanks for stopping by today, Lovely to see you here.
Hugs,

CAS Mix Up February 2021 - Stencil Heat Embossing - Oh So Succulent

Hi Friends,
It's time for February's CAS Mix Up Challenge and this month Nancy wants us to use Stencils for Heat Embossing.  Arleen is our Guest Designer.  
For my card I cut a stitched Rectangle, stamped the dots twice with Versamark and applied the embossing powder to get a thicker layer of embossing powder through the Stencil.  I made the Succulent pot with an Oval die cutting the ends off and sponging the edges.  The Succulent stamp outline was stamped with Stazon Black and then I stamped the fill in stamp with the Mint Macaron Stamp Pad and used a Vintage Violet Marker around the edges.  To finish off I die cut the Flourish and embossed the Sentiment in Gold.
Thanks for stopping by today, Lovely to see you here.
Hugs,
