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,
Supplies:
Stamps: S/U's Special Celebrations

I haven't tried to use VersaMark and gold embossing, but I need to. This is GORGEOUS, my friend!
ReplyDeleteThis is so stylish and beautiful. It doesn't matter at all about the bit on the bottom left hand corner xx
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing to me that you can go out to your yard and pick a leaf for a gold embossed card. So envious, wish I'd thought of it. Looks so beautiful with stitching and matted it gold. Just a lovely piece of art.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully CAS and your leaf prints so elegant gold embossed and a gold sentiment too, and the wonky stitches mat frames each so prettily Susan. x
