CAS Mix Up Challenge Reminder - August 2022 - Emboss Resist - Faux Batik

Hello there,

Today's card is for this month's CAS Mix Up Challenge and Nancy is challenging us to do some Emboss Resist.  

To start I blended some Tim Holtz Oxide Ink - Dried Marigold and Worn Lipstick.  I then placed my Stencil over the top and sponged Versamark ink through the stencil.  I removed the Stencil and sprinkled Clear embossing Powder over the Versamark and heat set it with my Heat Gun.  I followed Channin Pelletier's Video to do the Faux Batik technique, folding and creasing the lines into my piece of card.  Then I sponged and blended Shaded Lilac and Broken China over the card to reveal the creased lines.  I added some water droplets to give extra dimension. I finished off by White Heat embossing the sentiment and using a die to cut it out.

Thanks for taking a peek today.

Hugs,

CAS Mix Up Challenge - August 2022 - Emboss Resist - Corner Garden

Hello Stampers,

This month's challenge features the Emboss Resist Technique and Nancy is our Hostess.  We Welcome Brenda as our Guest Designer.  

To start my card I followed Kristina Werner's Video and stamped with Versamark and White Heat Embossed the Corner Garden stamp from Stampin" Up! on Water coloured card.  I then loosely added colour and when it was dry I used my Aqua Painter to highlight the flowers and leaves with more colour and dimension.  The Sentiment was stamped with Versamark and Gold heat embossed.  I finished off the inside by partially stamping the Corner Garden stamp, and heat embossed with White E/Powder and using the same Water colour technique.

Lovely to see you here!

Heartkids Fundraiser in Memory of Marthea Widdicombe - Project #1

Hello Friends,

On the 3rd of April 2022 I attended a Fundraiser in Memory of Marthea Widdicombe who passed last year.  The Fundraiser was organised by Pat Carr with help from a number of friends from the stamping  community.  Marthea loved her stamping and was collecting a very large number of products in preparation for her Retirement.  When Marthea passed her Family was presented with the difficulty of disposing of all the items she had purchased and Pat along with Dale, Marthea's stamping buddy offered to organise a Fundraiser that could be held to raise funds for a worthy cause.  The Family agreed and over 70 Ladies attended and $10,078.00 was raised for Heartkids.  We made 8 cards on the day, all prepared from product that Marthea had bought and over the next few days I will post the cards we made.  There was also more stamps, designer paper, dies and embossing folders etc. that could be purchased, plus raffles and games that helped to raise the money.

Thanks for dropping in today.

Hugs,
