Twofer cards using the same background stamp


Lately some of my blog card making friends have been sharing cards using Magical Micas... so I was tempted to get them out and play.  
I positioned the stamp in the Misti and inked it up with Versamark...  first time I just sprinkled on the gold embossing powder to get a lovely rich image.  So while it was in the Misti inked and made another stamped image and this time used a brush to add powder to the ink, then lightly misted with water (right image)  there was too much powder and it made a mess... so I did it again and then used a brush to clear away the excess and misted even more lightly with water (left image) and I used this one to make my white card.


As you can imagine it's very shimmery - so hard to photograph - I used a pink and a green shade in the Micas.  Then die cut a white card frame and used a die cut label from my stash for the sentiment....stamped in black ink and clear embossed and finished off with a couple of gems.... I used Versamark around the label and a dusting of green Mica.


For my black card and the gold embossed stamped image I used pink, yellow and green Micas to watercolour the flower images... then die cut the panel and attached to a black card with foam sheet behind... and finished off with a stamped and gold embossed sentiment on black card.

I am playing along with We Love Chocolate Baroque December challenge - Anything Goes.... I used a CB stamp.

Merry Christmas


I had stamped this lovely ornament and white embossed it  some time ago and today (needing to top up my Christmas card stash) I decided to make a CAS card.  Mixed bright red ink with Perfect Pearls mist (no longer sprays so I use it with a paint brush) and painted the bauble red and the star just with the PP and then also the die cut sentiment to match.  Trimmed the panel and attached to a white card and finished with a crystal gem in the star centre.
