Flora and Fauna with Team Lou

It's time for another challenge with us at the Southern Girls.

This fortnight Team Lou have created projects to inspire you for the new challenge

Flora and Fauna with Team Lou

Our generous sponsors for this challenge are:

Waffle Flower Stamps & Dies

Creative Embellishments

~~~*~~~*~~~

Today I have used the Lacy Flower clear stamp by Waffle Flower Stamps and Dies, one of our generous sponsors this fortnight.  I've had this stamp set in my stash for a while now but I'm thrilled to report that it's still in stock in the Waffle Flower store (link below) and highly recommend the design and quality ... you might add it to your shopping cart if you're the lucky challenge winner.

I tried something new for me, colouring on Kraft.  I dusted the front panel of the card base with powder, then, using my MISTI, I stamped the largest Lacy Flower image and sentiment on a Kraft card base with Versamark watermark ink.  I smothered the stamping with embossing powder, shook off the excess then gently removed any stray granules before zapping it with my heat tool.  I always love watching the magic happen when embossing powder melts.

I gave the card a few minutes to cool down then coloured the segments of the image with Kaisercraft metallic gel pens.  These pens are so juicy and have such a luscious metallic shimmer and shine which looks even more decadent against the Kraft cardstock.

It's not very often that I stamp and colour directly on to a card base.  It was nice not to worry about layers or colours bleeding through.  Using the MISTI would make it quick and easy to make a bundle of these CAS cards to have ready and waiting for some "colouring therapy".

~~~*~~~*~~~

NOW it's YOUR turn!

I hope that I have inspired you to get creative
and look forward to seeing your projects fill the gallery for

This post is to share my ingredients and

recipe for a cheery HELLO.

~~~*~~~*~~~

There is so much amazing detail in the Autumn Points stamp that I made another couple of CAS cards.  This time I rotated the stamp from portrait to landscape and added a die cut sentiment.

I placed the stamp in my MISTI (foam layer removed) and printed it twice on a piece of 4" x 5 1/4" smooth white cardstock panel using Versafine Onyx Black ink.

For the first card I cut a matting panel 4 1/4" x 5 3/8" and inked the edges with the black ink.

I cut a card base 5" x 6 1/8" to allow for an even border around the matted image panel and adhered all the layers together using liquid adhesive.

Next came the sentiment.  I die cut the "hello" sentiment twice, inking one with the same ink used to stamp the image and layered it on top of a plain white "hello".  I popped the sentiment panel with foam dots and I soon had a second cheery, CAS, SUPER FAST card.

Given how lovely the black ink and clear heat embossing looked on my earlier card, I decided to make another card, this time with a glossy shine.

I stamped the image on a 4" x 5 1/4" of smooth white cardstock, allowed the ink to dry, dusted the image panel liberally with my powder tool, stamped again with Versamark ink, smothered with clear embossing powder then heat set for an even bolder black and a luscious glossy finish.

I cut a matting panel (1/8" larger than on the first card), inked the outer edges with the same black ink, allowed to dry, inked with Versamark ink then heat embossed with clear embossing powder. 

I die cut another two "hello" sentiments, inking one with the same ink used to stamp the image, heat embossed with clear embossing powder and layered it on top of a plain white "hello".  I popped the sentiment panel with foam dots and I soon had a second cheery, CAS, SUPER FAST card, this time with a bolder, shiny black finish.

~~~*~~~*~~~

This post is to share my ingredients and

recipe for a gorgeous day.

~~~*~~~*~~~

There is so much amazing detail in the Autumn Points stamp that I would start with a set of CAS cards and I am thrilled with the results.

Here is the story of the first card.

I placed the stamp in my MISTI (foam layer removed) and conditioned it with some Versamark ink, testing it on some scrap paper to ensure the detail of the image was crisp and clear.

I measured the stamp and decided to try it with a 4" x 5 1/4" smooth white cardstock panel, stamping it with Versafine Onyx Black ink.  The image looked fabulous the first time but I inked it up again for an even richer / darker image.  The placement of the stamp was perfect too.

I cut a matting panel 4 1/4" x 5 3/8" and inked the edges with the black ink.

I cut a card base 5" x 6 1/8" to allow for an even border around the matted image panel and adhered all the layers together using liquid adhesive.

Next came the sentiment.  I placed the clear stamp on my cutting mat and measured it up, deciding to cut a 25mm x 51mm (yes, it's metric, I pick & choose between metric & imperial, taking the sizes that suit best).  I placed the card panel in the corner of my MISTI, lined the stamp up on top of it, closed the lid to secure the stamp and double inked the sentiment, same as the image panel.  I popped the sentiment panel with foam dots and my CAS card was made SUPER FAST (for me) in eight minutes and fifty-seven seconds, yes, you read right, 8:57.  If I had planned it better, I'm sure it would have been even faster.

What do you think?

Once this first card was completed, I decided to add some extra elegance with some embossing powders.

I stamped the image panel and sentiment on the same sized panels as my first card but made the matting panel 1/8" larger.  I inked the outer edges of the matting panel, inked with Versamark ink then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  You may notice that there is a little time between this step and heat embossing the image and sentiment panels.  "Why?" you may well ask ... well that's because the ink wasn't dry on my matting panel and it turned my Versamark ink pad black.

I dusted the image panel and sentiment panels liberally with my powder tool, stamped them again with Versamark ink, smothered them with clear embossing powder then heat set for an even bolder black and a luscious glossy finish.

Next came my mini production line.

My final design was decided, so I cut some more image, sentiment and matting panels and some card bases too.  All I needed to do was decide what colours to use.  The only difference with these three is that no pigment inks were used, only Versamark under the luscious metallic embossing powders.

This card uses gold embossing powder. 

This card uses silver embossing powder.

This card uses platinum embossing powder.

The metallic embossing powders pick up the delicate detail

of the stamps and give such rich shimmer and shine.

There is so much amazing detail in this stamp, I decided to go with a set of CAS cards.

These three were heat embossed with metallic embossing powders.

These two were stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink,

with one stamped again and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

These next two card show that this stamp looks just as awesome in landscape.

This one was heat embossed with clear embossing powder

This pair of cards use the Stampendous Pine Ornaments Cling Rubber Stamp and
Rose Gold Embossing Enamel with sentiments by Kaisercraft and Ultimate Crafts.
These CAS designs were quick and easy to prepare and assemble.

I measured the stamp and cut some 3" x 4 1/4" panels to stamp them on.

I aligned the stamp with a panel in my MISTI and started stamping.

I stamped each panel with Tattered Rose Distress Ink first, to give a solid background for the heat embossing to come.  I heat set each panel, dusted with my powder tool, stamped with Versamark ink, smothering each panel with embossing powder, then held my breath in awe as the magic happened before my eyes with the heat gun - WOW!

I cut some slightly larger panels to mat each image panel, went around the edges with Versamark ink and heat embossed to match the image panel to give me perfectly matching matting panels.

I die cut the pair of Merry Christmas sentiments and heat embossed them too.

The smaller card is 5x7", the larger A5.

Here is a close-up pic showing the beautiful detail of the stamp

and the delicate shimmer of the rose gold embossing enamel.

It's gorgeous, so hard to photograph, pure magic in real life,
