CFC 119: Embossing

Click me for more inspiration!

 

This week's challenge is to emboss--dry or heat--and it's a 2 week challenge so you have tons of time to play!

 

 

I chose to heat emboss a die cut.  I smashed a versamark pad onto a piece of white cardstock, heat embossed it with silver embossing powder and then die cut my word...super simple!

 

The background of my card is a piece of pattern paper that I airbrushed with copics using a stencil--it was actually in my reject pile from another project and I'm happy I was able to use it because it turned out so pretty.

 

We have an awesome sponsor this challenge:

 

 

Thanks for stopping by and I can hardly wait to see all the embossed CAS projects!

October City Chick challenge

The Scrappin' in the City design team challenge for October is to use a stencil.  After knowing about this challenge all month, I finally pull something together at the last minute-- October is almost over! 

 

I adore the stencil I chose, it's the mini Chunky Chevron stencil from Balzar Designs (The Crafter's Workshop). I inked, airbrushed and sprayed many, many times before finally ending up with this design--I would photograph the reject pile but it's too embarrassing. 

 

After misting the stencil with Mister Huey's color mists, I decided to flip the stencil over and rub the wet ink that was left on top of the stencil onto a sheet of pattern paper and liked the subtle distressed look I ended up with.
