CAS Mix Up Challenge Reminder - October 2018 - Metal - Black Ice

Good Morning,

Today's post is a reminder for the CAS Mix Up Challenge  which closes on the 24th of October  and we are to Use Real or Faux Metal to design our cards.

This was the first time I have tried the "Black Ice Technique" and it was a lot of fun and very easy to do.  Instead of doing all my stamping on the Black Ice piece of card I decided to use Die Cuts as part of my focal point after stamping the Pine Trees and embossing with the Clear Embossing Powder and heat setting it.

Mix Up: Black Ice Technique, Stamping, Die Cuts, Heat Embossing, Punching

Supplies:
Stamps: S/U's Wonderland, Happy Scenes
Card: Thick and Thin Whisper White, Basic Black, Silver Foil
