Heat Embossing for CAS Mix Up

Time for a new CAS Mix Up challenge

This month's challenge is

I used Stamping, Heat Embossing, Sponging and Die-cuts.

I used this awesome technique by Svitlana.

You'll find this video and others at the CAS Mix Up challenge site.

I left one unadorned to show the technique better.

I stamped the fern with VersaMark on Mixed Media paper and clear embossed. 

Then I sponged some Shabby Shutters distress ink over the whole piece.

I repeated the process with another leaf but sponging with Peeled Paint.

Finally I stamped some leaves in the Peeled Paint and splattered a little water over the whole piece.

The sentiment is heat embossed too.

I also used the Embossed Resist technique on the sentiment for the second card 

and sponged with the Peeled Paint.

This was a really fun technique and I love the different shades of green.

By cutting the piece in half, I got 2 CAS cards.
