Well this card for CAS Mix Up was as difficult to make as my last two! I have never been successful embossing with dies as the card has always cut in places. This time was no exception with my Grand Caliber. So I dug out my Big Shot which I rarely use and it worked a dream.
I nked the die with Versamark so that I could add colour as well. I wish I'd gone with gold embossing powder now instead of green.
I LOVE the green embossing powder on this sweet tree, Sue! I tried to do this technique with green and a different tree and it didn't turn out well at all! LOL, you win some, lose some. You sure won with this! Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up!
ReplyDeleteSimple, stunning and a really lovely creation.

Super CAS card, Sue. What a clever idea to ink the die before using it for embossing. xx

ReplyDeleteGorgeous card! Such a cool technique. Take care and stay safe xxx
ReplyDeleteOooh, I love the CASness to this beauty. It was well worth taking the Big Shot out. It does take some time to figure out the sandwich, glad you persisted. The green is serene, I love it. ...now you know how, you can always make other in gold. ;)

Wonderful card. I love the simple tree and sentiment. The square size is perfect. So glad you shared over at Make My Monday.
ReplyDeleteWow! A very impressive result! I'm glad you tried the Big Shot! I think the green looks pretty!
ReplyDeleteWow Sue, this turned out great! I love how simple your little tree die is. How creative to ink the die first so you could add some color, love that idea. It might have given you a fit in the beginning but you persevered and got this stunning card. Well done! Hugs, Brenda
