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,

The heat embossed stencil background looks amazing. Clever way to do your succulent pot and love the addition of the gold flourish. A glorious card Susan x.
ReplyDeleteWhat a clean and gorgeous card. The colors of the embossing and succulent are perfect. The gold accents make this card simply sing.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that dotted background with your succulent, Sue! So crisp and fresh! The gold flourish and sentiment add such elegance!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous double heat embossed stenciled rectangle, Susan. Love your beautiful succulent embellishment with your handmade pot and die cut flourish too. Adding another succulent image and sentiment to the inside really finishes your card off perfectly. TFS my friend. Love and Hugs..Nancy
