Dimensional die cuts

The challenge at CAS Mix Up is to add some dimension to die cuts.
Here I cut a couple of butterflies in very thick card with some Bigz Movers and Shakers dies, I then triple embossed them in Black EP adding some Perfect Pearls powders over a layer of Versamark. Next I reheated the butterflies to make the powder molten once more and stamped with a Tim Holtz stamp with Brilliance Gold ink.


There really is some pretty texture on this butterfly, the sheen is lovely in the light. I embossed a little foliage behind the peek a boo die cut window and added a sentiment from Clearly Besotted.

  2. Your butterflies are GORGEOUS, Chrissie. I have not tried this technique, but WOW! what an impact it made on your butterflies adding lots of dimension and such a beautiful pattern that shines with all the metallics. Great texture from your dry embossed leafy background too. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up!
