Botanical Prints Using a Die Cutting Machine

Hi Everyone, I'm playing along with CAS Mix up with one of my favourite techniques - Pressed leaves through a die cutting machine following this technique- Press Leaves with Big Shot with France Martin (6:11)

Sandwich the leaves or flowers between watercolour or mixed media paper and run it through your die cutting machine. FYI you may find a lot of liquid comes out of the leaves, this is why you need paper that will absorb the water.

I rummaged through my garden looking for a mix of fall colours to play with, different greens and reds. The colours transferred from the leaf is a lot lighter than the leaf used.

I'm linking my first card up with CAS Mix up and added a little bee from Lavinia and a sentiment from Magenta.

CAS Christmas October is Red and Gray

Hi Everyone it's time for October CAS Christmas Card Challenge, and this month Marcia is asking us to use some Red and Gray on our cards.

Darnell is our Guest Designer for this month, so please stop by and take a look at her wonderful card.

I Played with one of the Simon Hurley stamping foams and my Sizzix 3D Poinsettia Embossing folder to create the image. Jennifer McGuire has created a video on how to use the foam with Stamps, Stencils and Embossing folders. It was fun to use them as stamps in a slightly different way.

I used the negative side of the embossing folder and pushed the heated foam in to create raised stamp and then inked it with distress inks.

I love the delicate outline it gave me and will be using it on a few of my other Embossing folders.

Stamps: Sentiment (Can't remember)
Paper: 110lb white, Gray
