Whilst I was doing a little triple embossing the other day I decided to use a few other die cuts and stamps.
My Sizzix leaf was cut and triple embossed in black EP, then a few shades of Perfect Pearls added over a layer of Versamark. After reheating I stamped into the molten liquid really heavily with a Large Tim Holtz stamp inked with Brilliance gold ink.
The background grid stencil was made by cutting a piece of vellum with a Memory Box Distressed Collage die. I placed the stencil over a piece of card and tapped out few grains of Dark Brown and White Brushos before spritzing with water and dabbing dry with a paper towel. The berry spray die was the least fussy of the ones in my die store but I'm not exactly sure of its origin, I know I had to add two shims before it cut cleanly. I have quite a few of these kind of dies, I guess I'm attracted to them ...(berries not ones which need to have a shim)!
The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted, stamped with SU Chocolate Chip ink to match the dark brown card Base.

ReplyDeleteAmazing texture, colors and shine on your gorgeous die cut eb layered leaf, Chrissie. Love your stenciling with Brushos background and die cut leaves for your leaf. You balanced your CAS card design beautifully with your stamped sentiment. A real beauty for several challenges. So pleased you added your card to our CAS Stencil Card Challenge. Hugs..Nancy
ReplyDeleteWonderful CAS design Chrissie, love all the texture on the leaf and your abstract background. Thanks for playing at CAS Mix Up again.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Chrissie. I am loving your layered die-cuts with the molten stamping. Really beautiful and full of shine from the metallics. The leaf looks beautiful over top of your stenciled corner. And the die-cut white berries are a perfect addition. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up and CAS Stencil.
ReplyDeleteThat leaf is simply loaded with texture and dimension. The subtle Brusho stencilling is just the perfect BG required to uplift that incredible die cut along with that whisper of white berry spray die cut. Elegant and beautiful Chrissie.

ReplyDeleteSimply stunning! Beautiful stenciling, gorgeous colours and I love the detail on the leaf. Thank you for playing along with the CAS Stencil challenge xx
ReplyDeleteThat leaf is marvelous, Chrissie, and I plan to try that technique since I have so much black embossing powder that I never use. Making your own grid from a die cut was such a good idea. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Addicted to CAS.
ReplyDeleteJust saw this at CAS Mix up Chrissie, Love it :)
