CAS Mix Up Challenge Reminder - October 2021 - Botanical Prints

Hi there,

This is the reminder post for October's CAS Mix Up Challenge which is to use Leaves or Flowers to create a Print.  Bonnie is host this month and it is a Mixed Media Challenge.  We Welcome Izzy as our Guest Designer.

I used Pelargonium Leaves for my card inking up with Versamark, stamping using the leaf and heat embossing with Gold E/Powder.  I found that I had the best image with the first stamping.  The stamping was a lot more saturated with versamark on the second attempt as you can see on the last photo in this post on the bottom left hand corner.

Thanks for stopping by today, lovely to see you here.

Hugs,

CAS Mix Up Challenge - October 2021 - Botanical Prints

Good Morning Stampers,

It's the first of October and time for a new challenge at CAS Mix Up.  This month is Mixed Media month and Bonnie is challenging us to do Botanical Prints using real leaves or flowers from the Garden. I used a Gel Plate to begin my card with Acrylic Paints and a Brayer.  I have never used a Gel Plate before so this was a bit of a learning curve, I had a bit of trouble making the Acrylic Paints spread across the Plate but did manage to make it work.  For this piece I used Flower heads of a weed to stamp, sorta worked but I then decided to use a spray of leaves sponged with Distress Ink which worked really well.  To add some more interest I die cut a Frame from the main focal piece, which I mounted on dimensionals and attached the center on the card mat.  I finished my card by adding the Sentiment, sponging a 3cm strip on the inside and stamping the spray of leaves.

We welcome Izzy (Izzy Scraps) as our Guest Designer this month.

Thanks for dropping in today I love to read your comments.

Hugs,
