Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
There's a couple of days left to join in at CAS Mix Up where we're using
an Emboss Resist Technique.
I've stamped the music from the Penny Black Footnotes set and
heat embossed in white before sponging Distress Oxide ink over top.
I die cut the holly from watercolor paper and colored with a waterbrush and
smooshed ink. When I was done painting the leaves, I pressed them into the
watery ink left on my palette.
When the die cut was completely dry, I pressed it into my VersaMark pad
then heat embossed with clear powder for a shiny look.
Challenge ends August 24
also joining in again at
Anything goes with the option of music
I used the option this time

Fabulous card, Bonnie! The partial emboss resist music makes a perfect background - lets the card still be CAS. Love the holly sprig with the varied shades of green.

ReplyDeleteLove your Emboss Resist music notes for a bit of background for your beautiful die cut and watercolored PB holly, Bonnie. So pretty and I am sure shiny with the heat embossed holly over your watercolored layer. TFS my friend and joining us again at CAS Mix Up Emboss Resist. Love and Hugs..Nancy
